Definitely. It is a list of modules and they are modules which you have.
The versions of those modules that you have will indicate to us what
update you have applied. If it is as I suspect that your case is similar
to Joann's one of those modules will be regressed to a version which is
pre-837009 and that is the reason that you are getting that update
continually reoffered. Then what would happen is that it couldn't be
applied because you already have a superseding update applied:
823353 + 887797.

BTW if your msinfo32 tool is at all similar to XP's you may find
that using its list of loaded modules is the easiest way to compile
your version of that list. E.g. in XP I can open the tool at that list
by Run... (e.g. Win-R and enter:) msinfo32 /category SWEnvLoadedModules
Then the contents of that list operates as a standard multiple selection
list. E.g. select an element and copy it to ClipBoard with Ctrl-c
or select several elements by pressing a the Ctrl- key each time
one is selected and then copy the combined selection. Etc.

If you'd rather not bother collect the necessary diagnostics
which prove the reason for your problem you could guess
that the reason is understood (as explained above) and then
just uninstall the above two updates (at least) in the hope that
doing that would create a more consistent set of those modules.
(E.g. in the event that the hypothetical regressed module was
one of the ones which was updated by either of those updates
uninstalling them would restore the previous version of it
which would likely be a non-regressed version. So far AFAIK
nobody has a theory as to why so many people seem to have
regressed versions of one of more of those modules.)
