Windows Update weirdness

[Venture]

Checking Windows Update it has Office 2003 SP3 for downloading (which I have
not downloaded).

This machine has Office 2007 and has never had Office 2003 on it. I assume I
don't want that update, but I was wondering why it suggests I get it?

Any clues?

This is due to having Office 2003 web components installed. Even if you
don't have Office 2003 installed you may have programs that use the web
components installed. You can find more on this topic here:

I do have Office 2003 web components installed. I checked in add/remove.
Ain't that a hoot?

Thanks
