Problems with (KB956391)

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

After noticing some problems with my Verizon home page opening much slower
and different programs not working right i decided to do a system restore.
Going back to Oct.12 my computer was fine -just prior to Oct.14 patch
Tuesday.
Now after installing those updates one at a time discovered that the update :
ActiveX Killbits for Windows XP KB956391 was the one with ill effects to my
computer. Now that this update is not installed any more, and i'm choosing
not to install it, How do i stop the yellow shield in my system tray and
also tell WU
not to show me this update? This update doesn't allow you to click in the box
to stop showing this update.

Thanks for any
help, Ron H.
