microsoft security essential-KB2804527

[AWS]

WIN EXP SP3 fully updated to Feb 2013.

M.S.E. Antivirus

 

It has been some time since I have had a problem with the monthly updates - I dl and install all manually.

 

In this months Black Tuesday updates, I have been offered an update for M.S.E [KB2804527] along with updates for XP & Office.

This update shows in both the notification area[yellow shield] and via Start/Windows Update/Home page.

 

I have a desktop and laptop both running XP SP3 and M.S.E.  They both have version 4.1.522.0 of M.S.E.

 

Links[linked id 195462] to the update both sent me to what appears to be the home page for the installation of M.S.E. - I could find no reference to any 'update'.

 

A full search of the MS web site indicates that KB2804527 does not exist - it does not appear in the monthly ISO nor via the Download Center, security updates and tools - every search produces the below.

Sorry, we could not find any results on Download Center. It may help to:

 

Anyhow, I decided to try the download onto the desktop, from the links given in the notification bar and windows update home page.

I downloaded and installed after removing my existing version of M.S.E. 

After install and boot I updated the definitions, and I still have the update showing as not installed.

I have checked the installed version properties and found that I had installed version 4.1.0522.0.  I also looked at the properties for the mseinstall icon that I had downloaded and it showed as version 4.1.0522.0.

Apart from an additional '0' in the versions, it would appear that I still have the same version installed.

 

I do not get any error, as has been reported in a couple of other threads.  But then there does not appear to be much of a problem reported from others.

For the moment, I have not updated the laptop.  If it keeps showing, I will hide it for the moment.
