crypt32 application event

[Shishimai]

XP-SP-1 plus hotfixes . . .

I'm getting this periodically in my logs:

Event Type: Information
Event Source: crypt32
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7
Date: 5/30/2003
Time: 10:18:09 AM
User: N/A
Computer: (deleted for security)
Description:
Successful auto update retrieval of third-party root list
sequence number from:
<http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v
3/static/trustedr/en/authrootseq.txt>

Can anyone explain who is doing what to whom here? <g>

Thanks.

if you look in add/remove programs (windows components) you will find the
windows root update (it is called "update root certificates" in add/remove
windows components which downloads the latest list of roots for your system
and used by IE, etc. Most people want to use this service. Only if you
want very strict control over your root PKI trust would you turn this off.
