Repeated Auto Update Attempt
XP Pro SP2. Every evening when I shut down, it says it wants to install an update. It's always this update.
Security Update for Windows (KB923723)
Brief Description
A security issue has been identified in the Step-by-Step Interactive Training application that could allow an attacker to compromise your Windows-based system and gain control over it.
The update "completes" without any error messages.
How do I make this go away? I don't use the Step-by-Step Interactive Training, but I don't want to have the security issue if I do happen to install it...unlikely..
Any help with this would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for input. I'll take a look at www.ccleaner. I'm reluctant to jiggle my system at the moment, so I may just turn off the option in the Custom Updates...and hope I remember if I do install the interactive training.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. I think I've got it now.
Shut down, restart, then run a manual windows update. Select Custom Updates and install anything that comes up as critical. You can install any of the recommended updates that you think you need.
