Security update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2

I am using Windows Vista Home Premium.

I am being driven to distraction by Windows Update continually installing
this update. In the last week or so, Windows Update has installed it as
follows
7 Feb 3times
8 Feb 3 times
9 Feb 1 time
11 Feb 1 time
12 Feb 1 time
13 Feb 2 times
14 Feb 5 times
15 Feb 1 time so far.

On each occasion the update is recorded as successful. Each time I go to put
my computer in hibernation, the 'off' button shows red with a shield
indicating update to be installed and the computer restarted.

What can I do to solve this annoying issue?

Thank you
