Every time I log in there is the Windows Update icon waiting for me to
install new updates. Once I install the updates it pops back up again. I
don't understand why Windows Updates has updates constantly while I'm online.
This started a few months ago.
Can someone tell me the solution?

Thanks!

I have Windows Vista Home Premium SP1.

The "Security Update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2
(KB936181)" Publish date is always the same too, it's 8/14/2007 keeps being
offered.

Hi,
Thank you so much for sending me this information, but I'm don't understand
what I need to do to resolve the issue. I read the KB but I'm not proficient
when it comes to this type of thing.

Can you give me steps I need to take to get this resolved without me having
to interpret what the KB is saying?

Thanks!

You're welcome. Sorry, but I can't offer you such detailed support
here...but Microsoft can and does:

For home users, no-charge support is available by calling 1-866-PCSAFETY in
