ATTEMPTING TO DOWNLOAD SECURITY UPDATES FOR WINDOWS XP

[Guest all new to me]

I currently run Trend Micro it notified me of three viruses in the

solution section it diected me to download security updates. I then went to

Microsoft download center and followed the instructions for the security

updates that were suggested. According to the Download center all three

downloaded. However, when I checked Microsoft Security update log they were

not listed as that they were downloaded.

 

Any sugestions?

Are the three updates offered to you at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com?

Run this and it will scan your pc and in results list every and any

Windows Update you may be missing and also gives other feedback for

security areas:

 

Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer V1.2.1 (working-freeware, works

on home PC) [Run and will display any missing Windows Updates]

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/tools/mbsahome.mspx

MBSA 1.2.1 is the free, best practices vulnerability assessment tool

for the Microsoft platform the tool helps with the assessment phase of

an overall security management strategy. MBSA Version 1.2.1 includes a

graphical and command line interface that can perform local or remote

scans of Windows systems. MBSA 1.2.1 runs on: Windows 2000, Windows

XP, and Windows Server 2003 systems.

 

NOTE.... There is s newer Version 2 - couple months ago now.

 

PS.... This is free from Microsoft and does not lie. If you are not

missing Updates then there is some other problem as to the display of

that you need to deal with - like there may be up to 10 or 20 pages of

listed installed updates. Have you checked them all ???/
