Even if the update fixes issues in iTunes (that I don't have installed) and isn't a security update for QuickTime. At least they let you hide the updates, but I wish they wouldn't try so hard to push iTunes onto me. Mind you, I get just as annoyed with other updates that try to include things like Google Toolbar/Google Desktop (e.g. Sun's JRE updates).

I don't know why the files weren't deleted by clearing Internet Explorer's cache. Perhaps I misunderstood its function (delete the blog post I was halfway through, perhaps)?
