Default Security Update XP kb977165

Hello, my automatic updates keeps saying I need to download and install
the Security Update XP kb977165. Problem is that I have clicked OK
and it has download and also installed this update now 6 times on my
laptop running XP sp3 and after each time it still says the same update
needs downloading.
Is anybody else having this issue ?

"For home users, no-charge support is available by calling 1-866-PCSAFETY in
the United States and Canada or by contacting your local Microsoft
subsidiary."

This is classed an "important" (or "high priority) update, NOT a "critical"
one. Why do you let anyone change the state of your host without your
permission and without your intervention? Configure Automatic Update to
only *notify* you of updates so YOU decide if and when to install them.
Then you'll know when there is an update so you can first do a system
restore point save along with imaging your OS partition so you can recover.

You could use Belarc Advisor to see if the update has been installed (or
look in Add/Remove Programs with Updates shown). If it has been installed,
maybe their detection scheme is flawed, so just go to the Windows Updates
site and select to always hide that update in future scans.
