RE: Security Update KB956572 wants to be installed continuously...

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

I had the same problem. I called Microsoft at 1-866-PCSAFETY. It's a free
service for security related updates. I told them the KB number, the
problem, and they took over my PC and fixed it. They made several changes
and about 3 re-boots, but I am no longer offered the update.

Good luck.

On Windows Xp Pro SP3:

I visited http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956572 as suggested elsewhere
finding "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\HotFix\KB956572" under heading "New Installations" and
verified this key within my registry. Everything's ok, but "Security
Update KB956572" continuously wants to be installed!

I also did "Security Update for Windows XP (KB952004)"; no success! The
"Security Update KB956572" continuously wants to be installed though!
