I get the same WinXP Update every day

[sstaubin]

I keep getting the same WinXp update every day. Here it is:

Security Update for Windows XP (329834)
"Unchecked Buffer in PPTP Implementation could enable denial of service"

Does anyone know why I keep getting it and how to fix it?

By keep getting it, does it keep telling you to get it? Is it sitting in your system tray waiting for you to install or is it downloading it and installing it every day??



Please let us know what you think of posts, feedback is always appreciated as this will help to further our knowledge as well.

Automatic Updates has downloaded it, it's in the system tray waiting for review and install. I can review it and keep the update checked to install or uncheck to cancel.

I even downloaded, installed and rebooted the package from Microsoft at

FYI, you are not alone. I had the same experience a couple of months ago. I downloaded and installed the same update about five times before I finally stopped getting notices to do it again. Sorry, I have no idea what fixed it, but if you wait it may just stop.

Usually the catroot2 folder is the issue, but see the various Methods listed for resolution of this problem:
