You will find the proper download here. Be sure that is what you have. If the problem persists, then:


Try this:


  1. Boot into Safe Mode, then reboot normally. This takes longer than a normal startup so be patient.
  2. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
  3. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM


Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - El Capitan


Boot to the Recovery HD:


Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears.


Repair


When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the indented Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab in the toolbar.. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run First Aid until no errors are reported. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.


Now, Download and Reinstall OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 Combo Update.
