I have just received several critical failures when I
performed a Microsoft Baseline Seurity Analysis (though the microsoft update page said I'm all up to date with patches etc). I was able to download all patches and updates except the ones listed below under Windows Security Updates listed below. Although I regularly run Microsoft XP updates and keep them all up to date, this Security Analyzer pointed to at least 3 critical failures and stated that I was at severe risk and still am. Two of the problems I was able to fix but this one Windows Security Update (with 3 errors), I have not been successful. I have downloaded these 3 mentioned updates below and they will not "take" - meaning they are still showing as not done. For one of the critical security flaws, I discovered I had 2 versions of Microsoft Media player installed and when I deleted one, the scan said it was up to date. How do I get help with this problem? As it stands now, I'm "at high risk". I also have an OEM product and do not have available "time" to contact microsoft w/o paying an arm and a leg. Any suggestions?
