Microsoft Update KB974318 Vista but I have XP

I have an XP machine set to automatically update.
For the last couple of weeks my machine has prompted to do this update at power down each time (daily).
It shows as successful on the update log and on two "forced" updates.
But it keeps on showing and is always outstanding if I force an update as "urgent".
Trouble is it is for Vista apparently.
I have tried killing it in the IE history with no luck.
Any ideas on how to stop this?

Are you sure it is Vista and onwards?

Run windows update, click to see the updates, can you left click the update to highlight it, then right click it and click hide - do not show?0 -
I have just forced update again and it showing it once more on 8/8/11 but it is now showing it as an XP update as your link does.
V odd.
It says it has applied it successfully again . I will try the hide option you suggest next time I reboot if it is still showing.
It says it has been successfully aplied before but keeps triggering so far."If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....

I have tried to hid update but can't. I have forced it for XP , via IE and update center and it says installed OK but then keeps showing each time I shut down as outsatnding?"If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....

This could be why, so possibly uninstalling it will let it be hidden
" Since the Update has already downloaded going to Windows Update will not work it only works for before the update is sent. What you can try is this "

Thanks I did try this but couldn't kill it.
In the end I uninstalled SP3, reloaded it and took the auto updates and it seems to have resolved. This was a last resort but no problems.:j"If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....
