No, this one is for validating Windows. It is suppose to stop pirates from
downloading programs Microsoft Anti-spyware from the Download Center.

There are two Active X Controls listed in the Manage Adds-On for updates.

1. Windows Updates Active X Controls is called "WUWebClass Control". The dll
file to run the Acttive X control is located in the System32 directory and
called wuweb.dll.
2. Microsoft Updates is called "MUWebClass Control". The dll file is located
in the System32 directory and called muweb.dll

Also SFC will cache these dll files to the dllcache folder. So if they are
deleted, the Windows File Protection will automatically replace the files
with copys from the dllcache folder located in the System32 after checking
the security catalogs for file corruption. The security catalogs are located
here, but I do not see a security catalog for Microsoft Updates here but in
the cab file there is one present.

%windir%\system32\CatRoot\{F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE

You can obtain the cab files here the Microsoft Update Active X Controls
here:

http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/V5Controls/en/x86/client/muweb_site.cab?1121269785890

If any of these files are deleted, then the Windows File Protection will not
function properly. Also if the Catalog folder has a limit of 150 .cat files.
If the you have the reached the limit then you will have problems updating
Windows. Updates will generally fail to install. Hence, the need for Rollups
and Service Packs.
