There is one specific update to Internet Explorer that prevents me from playing an online game. I uninstall it, but when I'm away from my computer it is automatically downloaded and installed again. How do I stop this one update from installing without stopping other updates?

Go to start menu-control panel-automatic updates. You can change the setting to ask you before installing. I recomend reading what the update is for and choosing to download and install it based on that. You will get many people that will essentially tell you to "blindly trust" everything Microsoft shoves at you. Their "stealth" patch a couple months ago that broke a number of systems and Vista are two easy examples of why you should not do that.
Another thing I recomend is to not use IE anyway (Firefox is my browser of choice). Your most vulnerable point on a computer is your web browsing. IE is tied directly to the "core" of windows and your computer. You tell me how smart it is to give your most vulnerable point direct access to the heart of your system. Security is and always has been Microsofts weakest link. Sorry about the rant, but I saw the fanbois were already telling you to just "eat the red pill" "for your own good".

Have you researched the site. The automatic updates are there to protect your system from damage and hacking. I would not recomend turning them off.

Can you explain to me what problems you are having and maybe I can resolve it.
