If you find it on the “Updates History” but can’t uninstall it, hopefully it wasn’t too long ago.. If you didn’t clear recent restore points, restore the system to a time before the “Pirate Catcher” update was installed.
This method wipes out all “Cannot be removed” updates.

I am unable to uninstall KB971033 via Programs and Features in the Control Panel. I get an error stating: “An error has occured. Not all of the updates were succesfully uninstalled.” Anybody know how to uninstall this since I think I have been flagged.

On “View Installed Updates” you should look for: Update for Microsoft Windows(KB971033) and then click on uninstall. That’s how you will find it.
