Windows Security Updates with wrong dates

[Guest]

I noticed I have 6 Windows Security Updates dated April 16, 2008!!!!!!

As I do not recall having had problems with my computer's system date I
assume Microsoft did that. So other people must have the same problem.

Does someone else have the same problem?

If not then I'm afraid this could have negative consequences on future
updates, isn't it?

Thank you Gerry for replying.

It's the Update History that made me suspicious.
There are 6 Windows Automatic Updates dated April 16, 2008:
- Security Update for Windows XP (KB893066)
- Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - April 2005 (KB890830)
- Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer for Windows XP Service
Pack 2
- Security Update for Windows XP (KB893086)
- Security Update for Windows XP (KB890859)
- Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1

I guess they might prevent identical but newer updates to be installed.
So, should I try to uninstall and reinstall them?

I can see other updates, the latest being from January 6, 2006.

The dates in History on the Windows Update site are supposed to be
the dates you downloaded. They are not the date of the Update. I
checked KB893066 and that is an update dated June 2005.

I would not uninstall and reinstall. Do you have any evidence that the
incorrect date has prevented subsequent updates from being
downloaded? Well you have the latest from last week.

Don't forget History should also record failed updates.

Gerry,

No, I do not have such evidence.

Thank you for your advice.
