Security Update for Windows XP (KB908519) ...

[RJK]

....seems to have just implanted intself into my machine. I just trundled
along to MSupdate to locate it in my "installation history" and when I click
on it I get a pop-out box that is all white with nothing in it !

Can anyone tell me what this KB is about, and mybe throw me a link to an MS
page that'll load.

regards, Richard
