I have had this issue before, but was never able to fix it on my own. Eventually it finally stopped on it's own.

I believe it's an error in the communication between your computer and the update site.

the update was kb936181 but someone else has given me info and it seems microsoft know there is a problem with this update,he gave me a method of fixing which i think has cured it.
thank you.
