The yellow shield offers the following two updates, which appear to
install in the usual way :

Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 Update for Windows Server 2003 and
Windows XP x86 (KB982168)

Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 Security
Update for Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, and Windows XP x86
(KB979909)

The yellow shield disappears for about a minute, then reappears,
offering to install the same two updates ! The only way to get rid of
these is to select the manual update, and uncheck the updates, etc.
How to assess the consequence of doing this ? Do they actually get
installed as indicated ?

Other's thoughts and discussion most welcome & thanks ...

I would not tolerate using a computer that did not have all the security
updates installed so ignoring the shield is no good as far as I am
concerned.

How did you get on with Microsoft 'get help now' support people?

Did they tell you to download and run the net fix utility, then reinstall
the.net frameworks then go through the update process again? ;)

Haven't actually approached M$ yet.

Where do I contact the 'get help now' support people ?

top right 'get help now'

I read that the other update is not a security update so you don't need to
worry about that one:
