Upgrade being forced on wrong product

[CaptDanRyder]

I'm presently running Office 97 and do not wish to update to a later product
as what I have works great for the tasks I need to do. The problem is that
Microsoft Update is trying to force a Office 2003 update to be installed. How
to I get the update process to "lay off". I'm afraid that if this update is
installed, it will mess up all the products I presently use and enjoy. What
can I do to get rid of this problem??

You are unexpectedly offered Office 2003 Service Pack 3 when you use Microsoft Update,
Office Update, or Automatic Updates
