Re: Critical Updates

I'm sorry. I should have mentioned that I was referring to the Update KB
890830 and when I looked in the log for the Malicious Software Removal Tool
(KB890830), I saw that new line = "Security policy adjusted. Engine requests
reboot and try again, ignoring."
I never saw that line before and I wondered if it was something new and I
would continue to see it (and that it wasn't pointing to a 'problem').

we won't.

PS: The MSRT is not a "ciritical update."

In the past it read:
"Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool v2.8, March 2009

code: 0 Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool Finished On Wed
Mar 11 12:17:03 2009"
The new log reads:
"Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool v2.9, April 2009
Started
On Tue Apr 14 17:38:23 2009 Security policy adjusted. Engine requests
reboot
and try again, ignoring. Results Summary: No infection found. Return

Does the new line - "Security policy adjusted. Engine requests reboot and
try again, ignoring." - mean anything? Or is it just something new that
will
continue to show in the logs? I noticed it on my other 3 computer's
Malicious logs (re KB890830). thanks, Alice

(Answer received on MS Community Security Adm forum - FAIK this is nothing
to worry about. But you could try posting in m.p.security or
m.p.windowsupdate if you're very concerned, to see whether they have any
clues.)
