cannot install update kb949041

[subana]

for at least the past 2 weeks, every time I turn off my computer it says it's installing an update. Then several days ago, I discovered it's the same update each time! It's Security Update for Microsoft Office PowerPoint Viewer 2003 (KB949041) When I click on more information, it says this update is for:

Supported operating systems: Windows 2000 Service Pack 4, Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1, Windows Vista, Windows XP Service Pack 2

But my computer has Windows 7, not any of these other systems! Plus, I have PowerPoint 2010, not 2003!

I've already run the fixit tool many, many times! It seems to temporarily fix it but not permanently. Yesterday I hid this update but today it's back again!!

How can I permanently delete this update since it doesn't apply to my system?

I have a Dell One19 all in one computer. Here are the specs if you need them:

Try uninstalling the PowerPoint Viewer from the Programs & Features listing

 

[subana]

wow! You're good! I uninstalled it, shut down & now when I logon, don't have any more updates!! It was weird though, in my programs list it showed PowerPoint 2010 but when I uninstalled it, it said PowerPoint 2003!! I had no idea it was listed like that......I never used it that much anyway.

Thanks!

 

[NoelDP]

Did you uninstall PowerPoint or the PowerPoint Viewer? They are two toally different things.
Which version of Office do you have installed (and licensed?)

 

[subana]

I don't remember if it was the viewer. I have Office 2010 licensed...

 

[NoelDP]

All editions of Office 2010 come with PowerPoint included.
Can you still open Powerpoint?
If not, then you uninstalled the wrong thing.

 

[subana]

yes, I can still open powerpoint & I can still view powerpoint presentations! I didn't realize office included powerpoint. I use Office sometimes but I usually use OneNote & sometimes Excel.

Thanks for your help!
