Did NOT install. After my MSE definitions updated, I repeated Windows Update. The above 'important' update did not reappear???

Did MS servers get compromised?

Thank you

I got the same one too. It's a little weird that it's redirecting to an oddball .gov and .mil website. Pretty fishy if you ask me...

I have the same issue too; you would think Microsoft would notice this with 277+ views.... Something is odd about this update.

Same here. Hopefully if enough people post about this, we'll get a response from Microsoft. Haven't installed, but in my case (unlike in the OP's), it reappears every time I check for new updates.

I got several errors when I was first trying to run Windows Update right before getting this--for about 10 min I couldn't access updates at all. No idea if it's related.
