Win XP Pro. All of MS Win updates installed.

I keep getting this update request. I download and install.
Every time I boot this PC I get the same install request.

It is all for MS Office. KB2883029, KB2965282
And Malicious SW Removal(June) KB890830

What do I do?

Ask in the XP newsgroup (-: [I've crossposted and set followup]

The OP picked the wrong newsgroup: Windows instead of Office. Then you
also pick another wrong newsgroup which to cross-post and rudely tried
to change focus to your choice of newsgroup. KB2883029 covers Windows
XP, Vista, 2003, and 7. KB2965282 applies to a specific version and
service pack level of MS Office. Both updates target MS Office, not
Windows.

Don't rudely force someone's discussion elsehwere that you *think* is
more appropriate. Even more rude is you trying to steal focus of the
discussion in the other newsgroup by using the FollowUp-To header.
That's the behavior of a troll (which I ignored in my reply but retained
the cross-posting only for this subthread). You are not a troll but
delving into their behaviors reflects badly upon you.

Kindly suggest. Don't rudely push.

I'm curious as to why you didn't suggest that a better place to refer
the poster, instead of a redundant Usenet group -
microsoft.public.windowsxp.general - is www.answers.microsoft.com

Microsoft hasn't supported Usenet groups for what? Five or so years?

What was your reason VanguardLH? Readers would like to know!

I'm not sure whether you're addressing me or VanguardLH. If me, then (a)
I didn't know about the 'group you mention, and (b) the XP 'group isn't
redundant (see below).

I can't remember; however, that doesn't make them redundant! "Worried"
started his post with "Windows XP"; that 'group (which has similar
traffic levels to the 7 one - it certainly isn't redundant) is quite
likely to have a better chance of answering his query than an alt.
'group for Windows 7 (which Microsoft also doesn't support). I left the
W7 'group in my followup so "Worried" could see my post, since I assumed
he didn't know about the XP 'group.

What was your reason VanguardLH? Readers would like to know!

It seems to me that you were trying to help someone, for which you
should have been commended, not chastised, John. :-)

I confess I was somewhat surprised that you were not familiar with
Microsoft Answers - the *official* Microsoft Forums!

No matter.

Thanks, BD - I thought I was (that's why I left the '7 group in, so he
could see my post).

We all (certainly including me) go off sometimes (-:

I don't have a lot to do with official Microsoft these days. I don't
consider them as evil as many (especially on the older 'groups like XP)
do, but I certainly don't see eye to eye with them as they exist now,
and also I find their website(s) rather hard to use. So I genuinely
didn't know about the 'group you mentioned.
