More info:
I installed those 3 security updates by going to the Windows Update web
site. But something funny happened - As soon as it finished downloading the
updates, the Automatic Updates icon popped up saying that updates were ready
to install! (I cancelled that and continued installing from the web site.) So
it seems that the Automatic Update wasn't able to download the updates for
some reason.
