How do I get my windows 7 to stop trying to update with a windows 8 update?

My computer keeps trying to update practically every time I restart and just recently I found out it's trying to give me a security update for windows 8, but I've only got 7. It fails every time and tries again and again. Is it possible to stop this from happening?

    Go to Settings > Contol Panel> Windows Update and Right Click the Update and Click Hide and it won't update anymore.
