This computer I use for email & goofing off on the web is stuck in the Microsoft Update KB2686509 trap. Not really a big problem, more of a stupid annoyance.

Basically, I get a message from the system tray (lower right corner on the screen) telling me there's an important Windoze Security Update I need to install. But the update won't install, and it won't go away and leave me alone.

Download it; install it; won't install; security update message pops up again about 30 seconds later.

According to Microsoft this update addresses an issue where someone with physical access to your computer can get access to your personal data through the keyboard. (WTF???) The patch is supposed to plug that hole.

I think the problem with the update is I don't have a Microsoft Windows keyboard. I'm using an old IBM "click" keyboard that doesn't have any Windoze keys.
