Default List of trusted authorities - invalid?

Hello,

in the event log of several machines, I noticed entries about failed attempt
to download the lsit of trusted authorities from
http://www.download.windowsupdate.co...uthrootstl.cab .
The problem was in proxy server - I opened the port and it was then
downloaded. But while I was trying it, I actually downloaded the cab,
unpacked it, and looked at the file - certificate trust list "authroot";
when opened, it said that "this certificate trust list is not valid. The
certifiate that signed the list is not valid". Viewing the signature shows:
"The certificate is not valid for the requested usage". Should I worry?

thanks,
Vadim Rapp

Compare and contrast: Trusted root certificates that are required by
Windows Server 2008, by Windows Vista, by Windows Server 2003, by
Windows XP, and by Windows 2000
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/293781

Even if the certs have expired some are still needed for 'backwards
compatibility'. So no, you don't need to worry.

But they did not expire - the error seems to be that the cert is "not good
for requested usage". In which case it probably would be ignored
alltogether.

Depends though on the "requested usage" - I wonder what was it assumed to be
when I just opened to view the certificate.
