Guest Navyguy Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 I have a Dell Dimension 8200 with XP SP2, with DSL connection. I have AVG antivirus free version, Comodo firewall, Spyware Blaster and Hive Cleanup. All of these have run well together and I have had no problems. Yesterday I ran Microsoft automatic updates and all went well and all updates were successful. However since that time the Security update KB956841 keeps coming up to be updated like it's in a loop or something. In fact, I just updated it before this post and now its back again! I would appreciate it if anyone could tell me how to stop it or correct this so it will end the loop. Thanks, Robert
