"June 2003, Cumulative Patch"

[Dick]

Is there a URL where I can download and manually install Microsoft's "June
2003, Cumulative Patch" ? Norton Antivirus sees this patch as a virus and
deletes it on Win XP Pro & Win ME OP's.

Disable Norton while you download and install?

Thanks for replying. I have downloaded and disabled everything that I could.
Now when I try to install the "Patch" I get the message, "The patch requires
Internet Explorer 6. That is what I have. What gives?
Sincerely & thanks,
Dick

Greetings --

Any and all legitimate patches and updates are readily available
at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/. Any messages that point to
any other source(s) are bogus.

What you probably received is the output of a computer infected by
one of several relatively new, but wide-spread, mass emailing worms.

Microsoft never has, does not currently, and never will email
unsolicited security patches. At the most, if, and only if, you
subscribe to their security notification newsletter, they will send
you an email informing you that a new patch is available for
downloading.

Rifleman:

How on earth you can provide this solution. disabling NAV provides a
security threat. it is possible that Dick has downloaded the bogus Microsoft
patch.
Dont give wrong advice, this would render his system useless.

Dick, plz dont ever disable Norton AV.

It is a common practice to disable AV software when installing updates,
applications etc. After all, what does an AV program do? it stops a virus
infecting your machine. If you have downloaded a patch or other piece of
software to install what does the installer say? "Exit ALL windows
programs". Ie. DISCONNECT from the Internet and disable your AV. How can you
get a virus while DISCONNECTED from the internet?

Bwahahahahaha! You should read what rifleman stated, and it is good =
advice. Many installation (whther they be programs, or fixes from MS) =
require one's AV be turned off. Seems you have it out for the rilfeman.

[Ramesh]

Previously, Dick stated that NAV has detected the patch as virus and deleted
it. so, disabling NAV is NOT an answer at all. The computer will still be
infected. How is this helpful?

Same scenario goes to u:

Equivalent Scenario 1: Somewhere in a house, a small fire starts,
and sets off the smoke alarm. The home-owner, not immediately seeing
any fire/smoke, complains about the noise of the smoke detector, so
you tell him to remove the smoke detector's battery and go back to
sleep, or whatever else he was doing.

Equivalent Scenario 2: You over exert your shoulder at work or
play, causing bursitis. After weeks of annoying and sometimes
excruciating pain whenever you try to reach over your head, you go to
a doctor and say, while demonstrating the motion, "Doc, it hurts when
I do this." The doctor, being as helpful as you are, replies, "Well,
don't do that."

But that was on the download, NOT when attempting to install it.

Greetings --

The point is, you advised the OP, who reported that a bogus
security alert he'd received had been correctly identified as a
well-known and widely-publicized virus, to disable his antivirus
software so that he could better install said virus. This isn't the
sort of "help" we like to see in this news group.

Since your past posts have been of a helpful nature, I'm inclined
to think that perhaps you misunderstood the OP and thought that he was
trying to install a legitimate update. If so, please read a bit more
carefully, next time.
