Windows Security Update Not Compatible with XP

Windows Update scans my operating system (XP) and
recommends that I download and install the "Cumlative
Security Update for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1.
The download is successful but the installation is
stopped with the message that "The software being
installed has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify
its compatibility with Windows XP. This software will
not be installed." Has anyone else had any problem with
installing this security update? Does this possibly mean
that someone had already gained control of my computer
(this update is supposed to plug this hole) and installed
something to prevent me from installing this software?
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
