There is a very easy way to prevent it from asking repeatedly for
a re-start. Restart your computer !!

However, this month's Critical Updates has raised an interesting
issue. The package included the Windows Malicious Software
Removal Tool - May 2010 (KB890830) and the Security Update for
Windows XP (KB978542). There were no other items.

I have two Win XP (SP3) computers (a desktop and a laptop). I
allowed Windows Update to download and install both items. The
laptop prompted for a restart. The desktop computer did not. I
wonder why.

Now all I need is a way to stop it telling me I need to restart
my computer every 5 minutes!

And is this in with our automatic updates or do we have to
get it ourselves?
