Internet Security PcCillin.....PcCllin runs a Security check once a week.
The MS07-042 follows the day when I took the following 2 actions;
1) Unchecked the KB936181 and Clicked Hide to keep it from appearing in
Windows Automatic Updates and installing) This Updates shows as Sucessfully
installed 11 times in my Windows History.
2) Updating Vista Home prem to SP1 (and that update went without any
problems and shows sucessfully Installed in History)
Canon Printer (not sure what further detail you might need)

You assisted me with a problem with the Security Update KB936181. Back in
November I was having a problem getting the Update Installed....and after
your assistance, it installed.
But this same Update is Haunting me...again. My Security Software
identified a High Alert Security problem....it referred to it as MS07-042.
Reading this Microsoft article it mentions the KB936181 Update. Looking at
my Windows Update History I see KB936181 installed on my Vista Home prem
PC...11 times. Once in Nov '07...and 10 times this Month (April). Each
entry shows Status as Sucessful. In fact this Update was continuing to show
in the Available Updates...and a Microsoft Tech Agent directed me to Uncheck
it, right click on it and click Hide.
I do believe this Update, KB936181....is somehow connected to...or causing
the High Alert my Security Software is alerting me to (MS07-042)
Any suggestions?
Looking at Program and features, I see 3 MSXML 4.0 SP2 Installed (KB927978
installed 4/17/08, KB936181 installed 11/26/07, KB941833 installed 11/28/07
In this exact order.....

If you have Automatic Updates set to Notify then when you click the
yellow shield in the system tray a window will pop up with the updates
listed.
Click on each individual update and then use the More Information link
in the lower pane to see what the update is about. The link will take
you to the MSKB article. Then use the IT Professional link to view the
Security Bulletin information IF the update was Security related.

I hear you on Disabling the Virus Software.... Since you never know what
updates are ready to install when you click on the Sheild you have no way to
know if its a MSXML download.... So to be safe, I will disable the Virus
Software (Norton) before I click on the Notification sheild....so no matter
what the update....the Virus Software will be...always...disabled.

So far, following your suggested steps, deleting the 3 MSXML
downloads...backwards (which removed ALL MSXML that where in my ADD/REMOVE
Lists).....then I downloaded and installed the KB936181....the Update
Notification is gone. My concern, when I go to Microsofts Windows Update
Site and click on HISTORY....it shows KB936191 Sucessfully Installed 7
times......with the most recent sucessful install dated with the one I
manually Installed today. When I check my ADD/REMOVE List, KB936181 is the
only MSXML program shown, and its shown...once once.
Why? Is this a concern?
As to only one MSXML package showing in Add/Remove Programs:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/KB936181
Security update package 936181 is a complete installation package. You can use this
package to install MSXML 4.0 SP2 on a computer that has no earlier versions of MSXML 4.0
installed.
Don't worry about the History shown on the update site. The information
shown there is read from a file in WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore
If it bothers you, then stop the Automatic Updates Service and delete
the DataStore.edb file in the above location.
[Start > Run > type in net stop wuauserv
Click OK
To restart the service type in
net start wuauserv
Click OK]
Doing so will delete ALL of the History shown on either update site.
Is this a process I will need to follow when the next MXSML update is
released?
You should not have to IF you completely and totally disable the
installed antivirus including whatever services it runs when installing
any subsequent Security update for MSXML.
That *may* have caused this mess in the first place.
Did you read Thane's post about HP software ? That's another cause of
MSXML package and Security update installation issues.
One last comment, I want to thank you for your assitance. This resolution
among others you have sucessfully assisted me on....I now Search for your
responses in the Newsgroups and when you personally reply to one of my
postings....I cannot express how pleased I am that the response is from you.
Thank You
You are mowst welcome and I'm glad to hear that everything is copacetic
now. <w>
