MS10-015 (KB977165) security update re-released with new detection logic [FYI]

Update: MS10-015 security update re-released with new detection logic
<QP>
....we have revised the installation packages for MS10-015 with new logic
that prevents the security update from being installed on systems if certain
abnormal conditions exist. Such conditions could be the result of an
infection with a computer virus such as the Alureon rootkit. If these
conditions are detected, the update will not be installed and the result
will be a standard Windows Update error. If a user receives this error, they
should go to the following landing page for additional help:

http://www.microsoft.com/security/updates/015

At this time, we have resumed offering the update to all affected systems
via Automatic Updates.

We have also released a Microsoft Fix It as a standalone scanning tool that
reports on the compatibility of a system with the MS10-015 update. The
scanning tool can also be deployed through enterprise deployment systems
allowing administrators to detect compatibility with the update before
deploying broadly. The Fix It and deployment information are available at
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 980966.
