Oh dear it sounds like you've downloded the microsoft update which looks to see if your running a dodgy unlicenced copy of windows.

Try removing it from the control panel add remove programs,you may will need to tick the box to see the windows updates.

if your copy of windows is not genuine you can't install v 11 or the new internet explorer either
