Microsoft has reported a problem with patch MS06-007 just released this tuesday. Apparently users trying to install the patches normally (via Windows Update, Automatic Updates, etc.) thought/think the patch was installed, but in reality the patch did not install successfully.
Customers using Automatic Updates don't have to take any action because the patch will install properly with their next scheduled update, Microsoft says.

However, Microsoft Update and Windows Update customers who visited those sites before 8:30 p.m. Pacific Time Tuesday (4:30 a.m. GMT Wednesday) need to revisit them and accept the security updates being offered, the company said.

Likewise, WSUS and Systems Management Server 2003 administrators who synchronized their servers to obtain the updates before 8:30 p.m. Pacific Time Tuesday should manually synchronize their servers and approve the new updates, Microsoft says.

    Does this have anything to do with my computers repeatedly telling me they need to reboot to finish an update? It's really getting annoying.
