Today Microsoft released the following Security Bulletin(s).

verified by visiting these sites for official information. Microsoft never
sends security or other updates as attachments. These updates must be
downloaded from the microsoft.com download center or Windows Update. See the

I'm one of the people who had Windows Update Version 5 automatically
installed on their machine and the version of this update that Windows
Update automatically installs on my machine is different that the one
mentioned in the Bulletin for IE SP1.

The files that are different are MSHTML.DLL and SHLWAPI.DLL.

In the Automatic Update one, downloaded from
http://au.download.windowsupdate.com...38d5504cce.exe

mshtml.dll is dated 21-Jan-2004 22:19 version 6.0.2800.1400 size
2,795,520
shlwapi.dll is dated 26-Jun-2004 00:00 version 6.0.2800.1557 size
394,752

These are older (this shlwapi.dll has a newer version number but older
date) than the release version that can be downloaded through the
bulletin at
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...01-x86-ENU.exe

After this old version installed I installed the newer version.
Windows Update than tried to automatically install the old version on
top of it. I finally had to disable automatic updates to get this to
stop.

Why is this?
