Windows Update error 0x80246002

I get this error code whenever I try to install
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and .NET Framework 3.5 Family
Update (KB951847) x86
My update history indicates that I successfully installed (automatically)
Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - March 2009 (KB890830)
on 3/20/2009
I have XP SP3, HP AMD Turion 64 mobile ML32, and have recently run full
scans with AVGFree, Avira AntiVir, Spybot S&D, and Malwarebytes antimalware,
each indicating no threats other than tracking cookies.

Any thoughts on why this is happening?

0x80246002 WU_E_DM_INCORRECTFILEHASH
A download manager operation could not be completed because the file
digest was not recognized.

Open Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel.
Which Versions of the Microsoft .NET Framework are listed ?

> have recently run full scans with AVGFree, Avira AntiVir

BTW, which AV is currently actively monitoring the system ?
Only *one* AV should be doing that.

> Which Versions of the Microsoft .NET Framework are listed ?
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Hotfix(KB28366)
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Service Pack 1

I shut down my AV programs before running the update, so that shouldn't be
an issue.

Running 2 AVs concurrently is NOT recommended, does NOT enhance the
security of the system, and WILL cause *weird* issues.
Hence, why I asked if they are both monitoring the system.

The best source for troubleshooting .NET installation failures is here:
