I'm running Windows XP Pro SP3. Add remove programs shows: .Net Framework 2.0 SP2 .Net Framework 3.0 SP2 .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 Secunia lists: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.x 2.0.50727.3614 and Microsoft .NET Framework 3.x 3.0.4506.2152 as insecure. Windows update shows a high priority update for: Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 and 3.5 SP1 on Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP x86 (KB2418241) Download size: 0 KB , 0 minutes (Downloaded; ready to install) I've tried to install this update several times. Each time Windows update reports the installation was successful, however the next time I run Windows update I'm told I still need to install this update. Any ideas on how I can install this and if this will solve the problem that Secunia is reporting? Thank you. John |

| Last edited on 6th Oct, 2010 09:16 | Hi, Some Microsoft Updates only "kick in" after a reboot. Therefore, I suggest that you follow this prodecure when updating MS applications: 1) Check Microsoft Update, install all available patches 2) Reboot 3) Repeat step 1, and repeat step 2 if anything was installed at this step. 4) Run a full rescan with the PSI. Has this resolved the issue? If not, you are experiencing a recent issue with the .NET updates. I suggest you try manually installing this patch: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx... , rebooting and scanning again. hope this helps. |

I downloaded the file for x386 architecture and installed it. Then rebooted and rescanned. Now I have four programs listed as insecure. In addition to .Net 2.0 and 3.0 Adobe Air and Acrobat 9 are listed. (The link to the update for Acrobat 9 shows as invalid.) Windows update still shows that I need to install the update for Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 and 3.5 SP1 on Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP x86 (KB2418241) |

I'm getting these same messages. I'm running Vista, SP2. I've checked windows update and everything is up to date. I've rebooted and rescanned PSI and still getting the errors. Thanks. Mary |

| Hi, If you manually installed the patch I linked above, and retry the update procedure I outlined, are you still shown as Insecure? If you are having problems with updating Adobe Air + Acrobat, I suggest you open a new thread, so the issue can be handled without hijacking this thread. |

If you manually installed the patch I linked above, and retry the update procedure I outlined, are you still shown as Insecure? Yes I was able to update Adobe Air and Acrobat. However the original problem still remains. |

@Tired of this , Hello Mary , You are on an XP thread and it does not apply to your Vista OS . Please read this (locked) thread and see if it helps . If it does not , open your own thread as Rene did :- http://secunia.com/community/forum/thread/show/578... Take care Anthony -- It always seems impossible until its done. Nelson Mandela |

@GrouchyGaijin , Emil may have finished for the day ; so whilst you are waiting for him to return (tomorrow ?) you might wish to see what Belarc has to say about the state of your M$ security fixes :- http://belarc.com/free_download.html Hope this helps .

@Anthony, Thanks for the great link. Belarc lists KB2418241 on 10/5/2010 as a security hotFix that fails verification (a security vulnerability) |

John , That helps explain why M$ update keeps on reoffering the KB 2418241 security hotfix at M$ updates . There is something on the web I saw the other day - an M$ website I seem to remember - explaining how to handle the non-validation ; see if you can find it with a websearch - I'm rather caught up atm . BTW , AFAIK the 0 bytes stuff of the download is "normal" until the installation moves the files from the initial download site , so should not be an issue ; having said that who knows with windows . Will check back when I can . Anthony EDIT : see if this helps you with the links Woody gives you :- http://www.askwoody.com/tag/kb-2418241/ I am not suggesting you should not still look for the M£ website as well ***. The described method of stopping M$updates offering the KB will also calm down the PSI , Belarc will remain unconvinced . EDIT 2 : ***here's something :- http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2431806/ Technically this applies to Windows Server 2003 and XP Pro x64 so look and understand before you move on to any action . -- It always seems impossible until its done.

@Anthony Thank you for the great links. It does seem that I'm OK then since this is not a web server. (Ubuntu is more attractive every day.) |

Nothing is ever certain with .Net , probability is high for your security with your system . Keep your eyes and ears open for a real solution , other than an uninstall/clean reinstall via Add/Remove . That has worked for me in the past , when I had a slow build up of non validating non-sticky KB's . Patch Tuesday looms ; see you around ;)) Anthony -- It always seems impossible until its done.
