Have a look at this article. Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (KB2446708) - Microsoft Answers
Seems like the Dot Net Clean Up tool might be what you need to resolve this.
Keep us posted and

I have used dotnetfx and remover Microsoft Framework 4 client. After I restarted Windows 7 it reinstalled the Microsoft .NET Framework 4 client along with the Security Update for Microsoft .Net Framework 4. Winwdow 7 stills keeps on installing the security update for Microsoft .Net Framework 4. Windows 7 update has reinstalled it another 7 times already, each stating that the install was successful. Do you have any other ideas on how to resolve this problem.

No, and sorry that didn't work for you. I actually had occasion to use that identical fix procedure on a Windows 7 laptop yesterday and it worked perfectly for me. The only thing that I might have done slightly different is after using the CleanUp tool to remove the 4 client and rebooting, and then using the windows update utility to re-install the client, I did reboot again at that point prior to attempting to apply the security update to the new .net4 client install. Other than that I don't think I did anything different.

Maybe try this one. It suggests repairing the install rather than uninstalling.
