Thanks for the link. I infer from Diana's post that a fast track "fix" will
make up for the missing 1.35.716.0. Since I now have a definitions update
with a number greater than the errant one, I'd think I could assume that I
am, in fact, "up to date."

There was an issue with the anti-malware signature package affecting
versions 1.35.714.0 through 1.35.739.0. A specific signature containing
invalid characters made it into the packages and is causing update failures
for all products running on down-level operating system such as Windows XP.
We are currently fast tracking a fix through our signature certification
system with an estimated release time of 6:00pm today (6/24/2008) with
version greater than or equal to 1.35.740.0.
