I used windows update (manual use) in February with no issue. Now (July 10th, 2008,) I am being prompted to (re-)install the validation tool KB892130, which was installed in Aug 2007 (as seen in the software installed list in add/remove programs). The article (KB892130) is dated December 2007). There is no evidence of a tool version change that I could find on the microsoft site.
My W2K computer does not get prompted for a reinstall of the validation tool. It was last used in the same time frame.
Have I been hijacked by a virus?
How do I tell if this is due to a version change in the tool?
