I called my daughter up. She updated all our three Vista computers and said there's no problem whatsoever. I'll be home soon, I hope, and I'll check it out. I trust her though, she's good with computers.

The problem was fixed about 4 PM yesterday...

I was notified and posted at 5:15 PM my time. Once I verified it worked.

Was uploaded to my system overnight as well ( successfully). Weird -- I am not configured to update automatically. So much for security. So far no problems I can see.

Part of the problem was It made no difference how you had your system set.
IT DOWNLOADED AND INSTALLED .381, I had the install on 7-30-07,11:59pm and was A OK, so the bad batch of install was corrupt to me. I have repatched, and re validated. one of MILLIONS that it happened to... something as best I can find, depend on the updater your using... I am beta testing the NEW installer. that might be why....
No Idea..
but those interested can go to: C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\SelfUpdate
and check to see why you rec'd the .381 files or if you have them.

Doing some checking in the path:
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\SelfUpdate
if you have any .mum files other than 7.0.6000.381.mum (3) ea.
I had the .374 mum files and the .381 mum files..
simply delete the others... this is part of the problem which triggered the Counterfeit ....

I still have the failure to install correctly, listed in the updates. but I know they are there.

I'm sure MS will not tell what happened, but many many ppl were effected.

(It also is known that those folks who did not REBOOT did not see the CONTERFEIT signature).
