As you know, whenever there's a Windows sucurity update available a yellow
shield appears in the system tray (right corner). This is normal. But after
installing the update the yellow shield should disappear. Since the last
update (KB960859) however this yellow shield icon won't go away anymore. It
just stays there, even though I've installed this update (KB960859) 10 times
already, restarted windows, did a full virus scan, ad-aware and a few other
sucurity scans, but nothing helps. Anyone else has this problem? I never had
this problem before.
 
Go to Control Panel>Windows Security Center. Left column you will see
" Change the way Security Center Alerts me". Click on and uncheck the box
next to updates.

The download of the update was probably corrupted. Here's how one
poster repaired the faulty install:

"I had the same problem myself just a short while ago. After installing
the same patch at least 10 times I was really tired of it. The next
time it showed up I pressed "details" and took a note of the exact name
of the update. I then chose "remind me later". In add/remove programs
I uninstalled the patch and rebooted the pc. Next time I was told to
install the patch I answered yes and I haven't seen this error again.

Hope this helps you."
 
Sounds like an excellent Joe, but I can't find KB960859 in the add or remove
list, so there's no way for me to remove it to start with. It's just a
nucance. In the meanwhile I installed an other update, but this one just
won't go away. I'll keep on searching for a solution. Thanks for your help.

Delete all TIF (temporary internet files) then try the install again.
You should be able to clear them from Internet Options, General tab,
"Delete Files" button. The buttons could be different in IE 7 & 8.
