Also I've had two Windows Updates hang around for the past few months (I actually had forgotten about them till a few days ago since I just hid them):
Security Update for Windows KB952069
Security Update for Windows KB958623
I tried just about every suggestion on google to get them to stop failing to install but none of them worked.
Here's my HijackThis logfile:
