Windows Updates offers me updates for MS software that I don't have

[AWS]

After I installed Office 2010 Professional (32-bit), Windows Update is offering me 31 "Important Updates", several of which seem totally unrelated to the Microsoft software I actually have installed in my Control Panel on Windows 7 SP1 (64-bit);The doubtful updates are:- KB2687417 - Security update for InfoPath 2010 32-bit Service Pack 1: October 9, 2012- KB2566445 - Security update for SharePoint Workspace 2010 32-bit 05/04/2012- KB2598287 - Security update for Visio 2010 Viewer 32-bit 29/08/2012- KB2553406 - Outlook Social Connector update 32-bit April 10, 2012- KB2589371 - SharePoint Workspace 2010 update 32-bit November 13, 2012

Are they really important for the other Office 2010 applications that I do have? Should I install them? (I know I can hide them, but if they are needed then I prefer to know it and install).

For Windows 7 there is also an "Optional" update offered, that I am not sure if I need:- KB2592687 - Remote Desktop Protocol 8.0 update for Windows 7 SP1 x64 23/10/2012 (it turns out that it also requires hotfix 2574819 installed as a Prerequisite);My standalone computer is not part of a network or domain, and the only use of Remote Desktop would be for accessing XP Mode on Virtual PC from this Window 7 SP1 computer, so - should I install the "Optional" updates KB2592687 and hotfix 2574819?

Please advise.
