Rob,
885884 is simply a notification that you "may" have a vulnerable Office
product on your system and to visit Office Update (or opt into Microsoft
Update) to receive the appropriate Office security updates related to this
issue. Once you accept and install (run) 885884, it will no longer be
offered to you. It updates no files on your system and only writes a key to
prevent reoffering of this notification.
