Ah, I understand. If you're on XP SP2, you can d'load it here:

But I woudn't install it unless you're SURE if you need it.

I'd been away for a few days and hadn't had time to read the
latest posts
before I had the problems and wrote to PCWorks! Now I've seen
the previous
posts and also just received emails from Zone Alarm about the
matter. I had
restored my system and deleted the offending MS update. Now I
have installed
the latest patch/update from Zone Alarm and should be able to
install the MS
update but can't get hold of it now because I can only receive
automatic
updates from MS. (my machine won't install Genuine Advantage)
