As to only one MSXML package showing in Add/Remove Programs:

Don't worry about the History shown on the update site. The information
shown there is read from a file in WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore

If it bothers you, then stop the Automatic Updates Service and delete
the DataStore.edb file in the above location.
[Start > Run > type in net stop wuauserv
Click OK
To restart the service type in
net start wuauserv
Click OK]
Doing so will delete ALL of the History shown on either update site.

You should not have to IF you completely and totally disable the
installed antivirus including whatever services it runs when installing
any subsequent Security update for MSXML.
That *may* have caused this mess in the first place.
Did you read Thane's post about HP software ? That's another cause of
MSXML package and Security update installation issues.
