I have a desktop machine which is been working with Windows 7. The problem that I am facing is with the Windows update. I have activated the Windows update and always get a popup or message for Windows Live Essential 2011 (kb2434419). The question is do I really need to update this. Is it necessary. I am working with older version an I have no issue with it. Please suggest me for the thing. Hope to get the solution.

I would suggest you to download the update and then make the installation well with the same. As per this a seven digit KB's is genuine. Also the update may be helpful well to work with certain features of Office 2007/2010. You have to look out for the feature that will be helpful. So it is all upto you whether you need to update it or work as needed. The older version will do but I would suggest to get the latest one as it may have more features and functionality.

This is basically a newer and advanced version of Windows Live package. This consist of stuffs like messenger, movie maker, windows live mail etc which may be or may not be useful to you. That depends what you basically use it for. It is not much needed. An older version will do so. If you need or work with such features which is been integrated with the new pack then you can work well with the same and process as needed. I am sure this will be helpful for you if you use it to the optimum. If you do not use much of it then its just for customization.
