Re: wuauclt.exe ... Cisco Security Agent.. and .pst files.

Probably a question better asked of Microsoft. I don't know why the MS
Automatic Update client scans for PST files but I had to create a CSA
exception three years ago and it's had no ill effects. As long as
wuauclt.exe is in the correct place, it can access the files it needs to
perform updates.
