Running XP, SP3

Yesterday at the Windows Update site, I was asked to install an update to
the Windows Update software. I did - then shut down for the night.

Today, I went to the WU site to check on needed updates. A small window
appeared, asking if I wanted to install software from "Microsoft Windows
Component Publisher". The name of the item to be installed was "Windows
Update". The small screen was entitled "IE Security Warning". Should I
agree to install this software" or is this a virus? It is strange to get
this message after installing (I thought) WU software last night. And no
explanation from Microsoft!
