Here's the source: You won’t believe why the Win7 Monthly Rollup, KB 4093118, keeps installing itself | Computerworld

 

  My Win7 Ult. got in an endless update cycle of re-installing KB 4093118.

  The solution was to run

wusa /uninstall /kb:4093113 /quiet

in an elevated command. Hope this helps someone with this nuisance problem.

No they aren't, they are just trying to screw up Windows 7 as bad as they have Windows 10.  I haven't installed any updates since they started adding telemetry to Windows 7 and 8.1.  My systems are stable and secure.  If you run Windows 10 or Microsoft updates then you get everything you deserve for being so damn stupid. As mean as that may sound it is the truth.

Why post this in Software Updates?

[funkyy]

I may be a noob but I'm a decisive noob. I have updates switched off and this latest (of many) Microsoft cock-ups just reinforces my stance.

I rely on:-

1) ESET, Malwarebytes Anti Malware, Malwarebytes Anti Exploit, and still have SpywareBlaster installed (maybe unnecessarily). 

2) Common sense practices like for example I don't visit "dodgy" sites or gaming sites or click on suspicious links, or emails.

I know it's not foolproof, nothing is impenetrable...but at least it's better than following the advice of "experts" and getting all these problems caused by updates which are a severe inconvenience at least and a mini disaster for folk with little computer savvy. I ran Win XP for 15 years and only once had a virus and that was in the first year and was down to my lack of experience while surfing. Once bitten twice shy!!

for those who wish to prevent or avoid such problems there is a well known good project that verify and maintains lists of KB to drop down.

Anti Malware & Anti Exploit are now integrated into one product

 

"Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit Is now part of the premium version of Malwarebytes, your complete defence against advanced threats."

@sefton22, I didn't know that...I've been using Malwarebytes Corporate version for quite a while and it works fine.
