Hi PA Bear,
We have now resolved the issue, I opened an incident report with Tech
Support.
In the heal of the hunt te process was as follows:
1. Stop the Automatic Services,
2. Rename the Software Distribution Folder,
3. Restart the Services,
4. Run the Automatic Updates
5. KB944533 was installed successfully.

But in answer to your questions:

I did disable AVG Antivirus Software & Spyware Terminator, tried to run the
KB944533 update file - and to no avail. Plus in the Add/Remove - file was
never displayed as installed.

At this point I then referred to MS Techie for his Suggestion of the above.

Thank you so much for your help, it was greatly appreciated.

regards

Is "Security Update for Windows Internet Explorer 7 (KB944533)" listed in
Add/Remove Programs (make sure the Show Updates box is checked at top
right)?

What anti-virus application or "security suite" are you running? What
anti-spyware applications? What third-party firewall (if any)?

Why does the History of updates installed for KB944533 still display as
"Fail"?? If in fact it has actually installed?

OR when the automatic updates are run on a daily basis, why it persists on
trying to install the above file, if in fact it is installed and not
required??

Or am I expecting too much??? ha

That's Windows cryptic way of saying that the update's already installed,
you don't need it.
