As part of this week's batch of updates, I got Security Update for Windows
XP (KB2676562) and it SEEMED to install properly, in that it asked me to
restart my computer (running XP) after apparently normally downloading and
installing, which I did.

It shows up in my Add/Remove programs List as I would expect if it had
installed properly

However, it keeps showing up when I check for Updates as being there and
High Priority.

I'm thinking I should just mark it as "Ignore." Does that sound sensible?
