IE7 "upgrade" again?

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Today, the yellow shield with exclamation appeared on my taskbar
informing me that there were upgrades ready for my XP system. I have my
Windows upgrades set to notify me but to let me decide what upgrades to
install. So far I have accepted all the critical upgrades except IE7
because I had problems with it and did not like it. When I went though
the windows upgrade screens I found that the upgrade it was telling me I
needed was IE7.

That surprised me because I had long ago set the IE7 upgrade as "hidden"
to "do not show me this one again". I reset it to that setting but am
wondering what happened that could have changed my preference setting.

Is there something different about this particular IE7 upgrade?

Has Microsoft changed its policy about upgrades and out options to
ignore them?

Or is it just one of these unexplainable things that happen from time to
time?

Thanks.

Jeff
