Hello,

As for today (July 8th), when contacting Windows
Update, our Microsoft fiends sends back an _unsigned_
ActiveX (URL is
http://update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/V5Controls/en/x86/client/wuweb_site.cab?1120844700102)

Seems quite weird, especially since the web page says
(as usual) to check that ActiveX controls are properly
signed by Microsoft.

Is it "just me" (I never had this problem before), or
some more general trouble somewhere in Redmond ?

Tia,
