    Well Im using W98Se. Found that a file called KB891711.exe was running in the computers Start Up files. As well seen with a CTRL-Alt-delete .

    The March 05 update shows within my System Information for the computers update. I have not seen a Microsoft update run like this on this machine before. Was wondering if this strange file is in fact part of that update,for the MKB of the same name.

    Turned it off because it scared me at the time.Haven't deleted it.But system is starting without it at present. Cant remember that I visited Windows Updates,do it weekly.

    If it hasn't caused any problems for you, let it run. It needs to do so in order to be effective.

    Hi CharlesVar

    yok. Haven't seen anything like this for an Updates before.

    Thanks for your attention so soon.Considered posting at Microsoft BBS but couldn't find them.Think was there from one of those news posters within my email. Certainly couldn't pay the fare to ask them through contacting them.Probably not only person seeing it then.

    Thanks. :(

    Regards - Charles
