Visual C++ 2008 Important?

[pestt]

Updater keeps failing and it's getting on my breasts now. I have C++ 2010 installed fine, do I need this as well?
Cheers..

assuming you didn't install them manually yourself, they will be have been automatically installed as part of some other program's setup process. they will be required for that given program to work so it's not a good idea to remove it.

Ok, cheers. Will just hide the update to stop it bugging me.
