Virus?

[A+]

Hell, i dont know. My laptop has been installing this update over and over again.

Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4 on XP, Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7, Server 2008, Server 2008 R2 for x64 (KB2656351)

Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4 on XP, Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7, Server 2008, Server 2008 R2 for x64 (KB2600217)

I click to install then the updates are back the next day. Ive done all kinds of crap to try and remove or stop this thing from updating but it still comes back. WTF is it? Has anyone ever had this problem?

.NET is a mess. What OS are you on? If the installation fails, then it can fuck up .Net and it will keep trying to reinstall the update but fail every time. Search for the .Net repair tool and download it from Microsoft, run it, and then try the update again. I'll search for a link for you.

Edit: Here it is http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl....aspx?id=30135

Just download that, run it, and try Windows Updates again.

maybe not...

Aww, sorry man. That worked for me and all of my clients.

Except for one computer. I had to uninstall .NET completely, all versions of it, use a third party .NET cleanup tool, then reinstall them one by one, patching each after I installed it before installing the next. That sucked, it took three hours. That was an XP machine, though, so I don't think you are having the same issue they were experiencing.

You still gotta apply the updates after running the tool. All the tool does is remove some log files that say it wasn't installed or that it was partially installed so that it can reinstall correctly.

Unless you NEED .net for a certain program, uninstall it.

Is it a personal PC? If so, more than likely not.

Personal. Im restoring the. Net program again and im going to try this one more time. If it fails, which most likely it will, ill remove it. What's it for anyway?

edit:
it went away but now after a reboot, my computer says it has never had any updates and its asking me if i would like to look for updates. i think i wont, for now.

[Ratt]

Just do it and deselect all the .net updates.
