Reinstalling MS security updates after removal?

[Guest G Lykos]

Greetings!

 

Used Add/Remove Programs to remove some Microsoft updates, for example

"Security Update for Windows 2000 (KB926122)", in an attempt to rectify a

system problem that seemed to have occurred as a result. Turns out that

this was perhaps not the cause. In any event, the system is now fixed and

operating normally, and I'd like to get current with relevant updates.

 

Question - although the update above was removed as described, Microsoft

Update does not now show that it needs to be (re)installed. How come? If a

security update, and if in fact now not installed despite not showing up in

Microsoft Update, am I now vulnerable? If I need to do this manually, how,

and how do I figure out what?

 

Thanks for any information.

George
