Critical updates and KB 890830

[AliceZ]

I just downloaded the 6 current Critical Updates for my WinXP (sp3 / IE7) and
when I looked at the KB890830 log, I saw that no infections were found, but
there were 4 Scan Errors found
->Scan ERROR: resource process://pid:1512 (code 0x00000005 (5))
->Scan ERROR: resource process://pid:3672 (code 0x00000005 (5))
->Scan ERROR: resource process://pid:1512 (code 0x00000005 (5))
->Scan ERROR: resource process://pid:1512 (code 0x00000005 (5))

I looked at my Process Explorer for the pid numbers and could not find any
for the 3672, but I did find one for the 1512. It read:\
Process Explorer has 1512 = CPU description = generic Host Process for Win32
Services / Process = svchost.exe / Company Name = Microsoft Corp.

Does all of this mean anything that I should be worrying about? I believe I
remember reading somewhere that as long as NO infections were found, we could
disregard the "Scan Error" messages, because they represented something like
MS looking for a program that it could not find, or someting like that.
Should I worry about that pid 1512 since it mentions "Host Process for
win32" AND "svchost.exe?"
Thank you for hopefully putting my mind at ease.

The errors are nothing to worry about.

But, if you're relying on Microsoft's Malicious Software Repair Tool as
your primary source of malware protection, you've got /plenty/ to worry
about.

So post back and tell me I'm a shlemiel, you have comprehensive
protection against all forms of malware, which starts with Windows and
runs in the background, and you just felt like reading through a log
file and saw the 'ERROR' message.
