Security Update, April 2, 2001

It seem about every 3rd trip to WinUpdate, I am told that I need to install this update. Does anyone else have this problem?
( Note the year)

 

aleekat--No, fortunately, I do not have the problem.
Have you tried to humor Windows Update by accepting the update? I have had this experience with a Macromedia update offered on the Windows Update site and kept on installing it. The notice finally went away. I guess you know that you can see what updates have been installed by clicking Show Installed Updates (or Installation History) on the Windows Update site.
BTW--I can find no Security Update with an April 2, 2001 date in the official MS Security list.

This is a quirk with IE's repair tool. When I run the tool, I end up installing that same update over again. I downloaded it from a link I found when you use the Update Information link in Tools\About Internet Explorer.

 

Mark, do you still have the link?

 

Aleekat--Have you tried installing the update (hopefully one last time) from the site I gave you above? It turns out to be described in MS01-017

This update resolves the "Erroneous VeriSign-Issued Digital Certificates Pose Spoofing Hazard" security vulnerability, and is discussed in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS01-017. Download now to prevent an unauthorized user from running code on your computer by digitally signing programs as "Microsoft Corporation."
However, I seem to remember that MS has just about a month ago offered a new patch on the same subject. The only place you can get it is the Windows Update site. If it is not in your Critical Update list then look under Installation History for
"Root Certificates Update - version 2,0,2195,0 " . You could try (re)-installing that.

 

Thanks guys. I do humor it and let it install. I believe Mark is right with a glitch in IE repair. I'll run it awhile and repair IE, and see what happens..

 

I've been busy for a few days. Here is the link .
