    Yeah, I suggest you check your update history.

    (Control Panel->Windows Update->View Update History)

    In the update history it tells me I have
    Cumulative Security Update for ActiveX Killbits for Windows Vista for x64-based Systems (KB973525) 16 times
    Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 7 for Windows Vista for x64-based Systems (KB974455) 17 times
    Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2 Security Update for Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and Windows Server 2008 for x64-based Systems (KB974469) 16 times
    There are another 6 or so with the 16 times installed as well.
