Windows Forum / Windows Me / General Topics / June 2005TrendMicro Security Scan shows MS 02-065 and MS 03-023 exploit vulnerabilitities
Hello: I ran the online spyware and security check at Trend Micro Housecall: The following two critical security exploits were noted: MS 02-065 MS 03-023 http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS02-065.mspx http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-023.mspx I regularly install ALL critical updates for Windows ME and IE 6.0 at Windows Update, so I had assumed that I have all critical security patches installed. I am a bit perplexed as these patches go back to 2002-3. Other online security checks I have run show that all my ports are stealthed...But I guess this might be a different issue... My questions now are: 1) Could it be that I'm already protected against these exploits? Could that online reading be erroneous? 2) Are there any risks to my system by installing patches such as these? Can they be uninstalled if they create problems? Thanks in advance: -Ira ============== Windows ME with all critical updates IE 6.0 SP1 with all critical updates > Hello: > [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] > > IE 6.0 SP1 with all critical updates Run Windows Update and unhide what's already installed or review your install history to see if you successfully installed those Win ME updates.

Yes , I did find the Q329414: Security Update (MDAC 2.5) to have been installed . This is what MS 02-065 puports to refer to. I also see that the 823559 security update for MS Windows is installed. Incidentally: When I run Windows Update , it tells me that all critical updates r installed. But... Precisely how does one "unhide what's already installed" at the windows update site?

Sorry, that was my first post using this set-up. It should have went like this... "Ira wrote Thanks Alan: Precisely how does one "unhide what's already installed' at the windows update site?... snip" Run windows update, on the left side under other options there is a link to view installation history. Clicking that link will reveal what was installed and what failed to install. You sound as if you've already looked at it. Rita Yes, Rita: I checked the Installation History at the Windows Update site. Both those updates were shown as having been successfully installed. In addition, one of those updates actually appears in the Control Panel Add/Remove programs; Windows ME Q823559. This program addresses the MS 03-023 issue.
