    Same updates showing up again and again and again


    For the past two or three months, at
    least once per week, I get a notice
    that there are updates for Microsoft
    Office Outlook 2007 - which is not
    even installed on any of my computers...

    there are also updates for Bing - also
    not installed on any of my computers.

    Last, there are update notices for
    Microsoft Security Essentials - Installed.

    I uncheck and hide the update details
    for Office and Bing and select MSE and
    install it....

    sometimes, the same day, I will get the
    exact same notice for updates...

    Sometimes, it's a couple of days later....

    but, always the exact same updates...

    How do I make this silly thing go away?

    Windows 7 Ultimate - 64 bit

    The same thing is happening on my
    laptop - 7 - 32 bit
    Second PC 7 Ultimate - 64 bit...

    your assistance is greatly appreciated

    Hi,
    Most of the updates your referring to are Optional/ Recommended,
    Are there any Important updates repeating ?

    On the windows update setting page Uncheck the box to give you recommended updates the same as Important ones,

    With the exception to MSE which releases several updates per day but the KB# should always be different,
    Fix Windows Update Error messages and other Windows Update issues
    Cheers.

    MSE will update at least twice a day - if you look closely, they are likely to be the Definitions updates.
    Office Updates also apply to things like the PowerPoint, Excel, and Word Viewers, which some manufacturers install by default.


    Please follow the Windows Update Posting Instructions and post the requested data

    Yes, Microsoft Security Essentials updates
    are the same everytime...

    they show up in history as being installed
    a number of times.
