Yesterday I checked Windows Updates and was given KB 979099 as an available
update. After downloading, this update failed to install. Further research
showed that this update is for Win7 but I'm running WinXP Home Edition SP3.
How can I remove this update from the list of available updates? I have
temporarily hidden it. Why did it show in the first place? Thanks, Fred

Click the update icon
In the window that opens UNcheck the box next to KB979009, click OK.
When the next window opens put a check mark next to " Do not offer me
these updates again or I'll kill you". (BTW, that's not the exact
verbiage but you get the drift)
Click OK. That will Hide the update.

Thanks for the quick response, Mow. That's what I did.... but the update
still lingers in the "Hidden Updates" file. I want to totally remove the
stupid thing from my machine. Fred

No can do. Get used to it. As long as Automatic Updates doesn't offer it
again, you're OK.
