And if you go there to download it, you have to jump through the genuine
advantage validation hoops!!!!!
I thought that Microsoft said that security updates/patches would NOT
require users to go through the validation process when downloading security
updates or bug fixes.
This one especially as it's a bug fix for the Update website software....
Install this update to prevent or resolve an issue in which Windows Update
and Automatic Updates can no longer download updates after an Access
Violation error occurs when using the Automatic Updates service. After you
install this item, you may have to restart your computer.

I thought the genuine advantage validation tool was only to be available
through the update website....
Then there's the fact that it's NOT mentioned in the December update
bulletin at all, even though the update website insists it's an IMPORTANT
update.

C'mon Microsoft you've been making users get updates through the update
website for over a year now, we shouldn't be having to deal bugs/problems
like this any more!!!!!!
