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!

Download and run CCleaner (www.ccleaner.com).  Run it's cleanup scan and it's registry scan.

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.

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.
