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
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
This is true. Unfortunately, that system has indeed already been compromised at least once. http://www.wired.com/2012/06/flame-microsoft-certificate/
That's an inaccurate statement. Microsoft Update was not compromised; Flame used a man-in-the-middle attack and a bogus certificate.
Fun Fact: SuperAntiSpyware is junk. I worked for the company that makes the software (support.com) and they have a division that provides over the phone PC Support. That department is not allowed to use SuperAntiSpyware.. Their main antimalware is MalwareBytes 1.75... I wouldn't recommend using a product that the parent company doesn't even put faith into.
It didn't get compromised.
Don't panic: Microsoft mistakenly posted a 'test' Windows update patch | ZDNet:

A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed Wednesday that it had "incorrectly published a test update" and is in the process of removing it.

Same here. Looks to be exact same pieces as well. On mine, last update I went through was 9/28 when everything was reported as "up to date", which had installed Definition Update for Windows Defender KB915597 (Definition 1.207.973.0)
Today I saw two updates available - Definition Update for Windows Defender KB915597 (Definition 1.207.1296.0) and this Language Pack. I disabled the language pack and marked it "hidden".
I also ran SuperAntiSpyware and MalwareBytes anti-malware with databases updated this morning and they found nothing. I'll run Windows Defender and FortiClient next.
