Update KB954430 keeps appearing (Vista)

Running Vista Home Premium SP1 on my laptop.
This update keeps appearing even though it is installed many times.
I have tried to remove the update as suggested in the work around in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/954430 but the update does not appear in the
list of installed updates.
Any suggestions to obviate this annoying problem will be appreciated.

Gotit...
Thanks, Ron!

I too have the same issue, the KB has installed now seven times in three days.
Found it in "installed updates" but it doesn't give me the option to
unistall it.
And if you open up the details it says installation successful yet Vista
stills wants to install the update again !!!

Open Windows Update > View Update History . Is KB954430 in the list ? If
yes, go back to Windows Update, right click on KB954430, click Hide.

You obviously searched on your web interface (Thanks.
--otherwise you wouldn't have responded to this obsolete thread.)
but why didn't you use the Show: filters with your search?
It's true, they frequently don't work because many questioners
don't bother to mark responses as answers and other readers
don't bother to mark posts as helpful but sometimes they do
and this FAQ provides examples of that. ; )

E.g., here frequent responder Engel evidently helped more than
a few with your problem symptom:

Good luck

This is very bad advice. Hiding a security update leaves your system vulnerable.

See PA Bear's reply earlier in this thread. The knowledge base article he
references describes the problem the OP is having and how to fix it.
