Automatic updates updated my computer last night even though Windows Update
had denied me because of an invalid key. Did Microsoft decide to go
lenient?

Are you waiting for Automatic Updates to kick in and offer you the latest
updates or have you already checked in at Windows/Microsoft Update to
install them?

<QP>
Caveats: Microsoft is releasing this update as a companion to the update
included with Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-021: Cumulative Security
Update for Internet Explorer (916281). We recommend that you install this
update at the same time as that update as a security update in that
bulletin could expose this vulnerability or cause application
compatibility issues.

Once again it appears that MS is creating probs all round with the latest
batch of updates.
I have been reading through the windows.update and I can see from that
there are problems with KB917344(MS06-230.
I have this one on current offer.
What is confusing is the knowledge base refers back to KB916281, which
appears to have been on offer a few days ago, with a suggestion that this
is installed along with KB917344.
But I have not had the offer of 916281 in the last few days.
916281 is also causing probs for some.
So, is 917344 and patch/fix for the 916281 or what.
