MS's download screen shows that this program installed successfully, but PSI shows that it's a threat. When I click on the PSI blue arrow, it takes me back to the MS download screen and the process continues. Doing a PSI rescan after I download and install KB923723 still shows it as a Cat 4 threat. (Unable to determine the path to KB923723.)

I tried to uninstall KB923723 via the Windows Add/Remove programs, but when I click on uninstall, it comes up with a long list of programs that it says may not work properly if I uninstall KB923723.

Looks like I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't.
Any good ideas?

Hello/welcome. Are you using Simple or Advanced mode ?
Have you tried following the file path of the insecurity shown ? Just a suggestion.......just re-read your thread,stating that you are unable to determine the file path ! Oh well,sorry: hope someone else can be of assistance.

Just a few further thoughts....have you run DSKCHK recently ? Have you got Vista...access to the Memory Diagnostic Tool ? They do help towards keeping things running smoothly....sometimes a system can become "forgetful" or misplace/lose files. They're certainly tools never worth leaving freezing.

I have XP. Have not run CHKDSK recently.
However, as I recall, Microsoft didn't offer a way to get rid of this dog, but gave instructions for going into the register to manually delete it.
I don't know why it's still available on their site for download, since the apparently know that it causes these problems.

I am not sure what U mean "I cannot find file path". If PSI finds a vulnerability it gives the path.

FINDING A VULNERABILITY FILE PATH
=================================

To locate the exact file that the Secunia PSI has detected, use or switch to the ADVANCED interface, then :

1 Click on the + sign of the programme to "expand' it.
2 Click on Technical Details in the Toolbox to see the installation path of the detected file. (Copy (CTRL+C) & paste (CTRL+V) the Installation Path of the file back to the Forum if U are unsure what to do next)).

I "Googled" the KB number and this site appeared which seems to date back to 2007 !! There does appear to be a workaround suggested :-

Try Googling ( or use your preferred search engine ) to see what else is on offer .

@Anthony
I think U have found the solution if the path shows the vulnerability as the irun file.

I would certainly give your solution a try.

It seems to be more clearly explained here in "known issues" :-
