All I could get thru the "normal Windows Update" was the Mailicious Software Removal Tool (KB890830). Perhaps the two Richie mentioned were not put on Windows Update yet?? Unsure

Further investigation of my Windows Update History reveals:

I installed KB891781 on Feb 8, 2005.

I installed KB896727 on Aug 9, 2005.

I just went to check at the MS Download Center via search and see that the Cumulative Security Update for IE for Windows XP KB896727) had a release date of 8/10/2005.

The Security Update for Windows XP (KB891781) had a release date of 2/07/2005.

Well that sure is strange guy's,up to checking Windows Update this morning i was fully up to date,because i usually check every day for updates.They were both available for me to install this morning,i'll have to do some investigating closer to home,see if my sons know anything about this.

Just as i thought,without me knowing one of them was on this pc last night and ran IEFix.exe for whatever reason,that obviously caused it.

Apologies for the false alarm BigGrin
