I got the "updates are available" popup, looked at them, and
accepted. One is the periodic "Malicious Software Removal Tool" - I
usually accept that; I know it only does a few common ones, but
I've not hear of it doing _harm_.

I then got a EULA popup containing two boxes. The top, small, box
says:

"Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - November 2018 (KB890830)"

fair enough.

The lower, large, box says:

"Prerelease Version of Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Windows XP
Professional, Home, Media Center, or Tablet PC Edition

Yes. I got the EULA and 'Prerelease bla bla...' alert, but assumed it said Windows
7 SP2 so let it continue as normal. It's just the usual update as far as I can see
and ran as normal.
ISTR seeing that once before although certainly not regularly.

I also just got the prompt. Allowed it to proceed and everything appears
normal after a reboot.
