Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Security Update Service Pack 2 KB970895 - Error Code 64C

I am afraid I am not too clever at technology but the facts are as a follows. Every day my system tries to install update Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Security Update Service Pack 2 KB970895 and it fails with error code 64C. I am not sure that I even need the product, to be honest. I have looked through the other similar errors but they seem to have different error codes and so I thought I had better send a fresh query. The others seem to have sent some sort of log information but I am not even sure how to do that but if you need it let me know what to do and I will do it.
Many thanks
Ian

Alberto,
many thanks for your suggestions. I followed the steps for the FIXIT program and ran it successfully and then retried to instal the update but unfortunately it failed with the same error.
Following your second hyperlink, I searched 'Everywhere' using advanced search in my files but I could not find the main log file which it says is located in
%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Summary.txt - can you help me find this?

Hello,
The update applies to SQL Server 2005 SP2, but you have SQL Server 2005 SP3 installed already. Windows Updates keeps trying to install this old update that no longer applies to your computer.
Please hide the update using the following procedure:
1.Click Start, click All Programs, and then click Windows Update.2.Click Check for updates.
3.After the scan for updates is complete, click the Optional updates are available link.
4.In the Select the updates you want to install section, right-click the update that you want to hide, and then click Hide update.
5.Click OK.
6.Click Install Updates to install any additional updates that are selected. If no other updates are selected, close Windows Update.
For more information about hiding updates, please read the following resources:

Hope this helps.
