    Hi Joe:

    Neither of these packages have changed or been updated.

    For Windows Server 2003 SP1, we are releasing additional languages as
    they become available. This is what you are seeing on SUS servers. The
    most recent update should have been 5/10.

    For KB811630, the detection was updated on 4/26 to prevent it from being
    offered to Windows Server 2003 SP1 machines. The file itself has not
    been changed.

    You can look at the log of SUS changes on
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894199 - this KB is updated whenever SUS
    updates, including detection, are published, so you can find out what
    has changed.

    Hope this link to the KB article is useful in the future for these types
    of updates.

    -jg

    NTBugtraq Editor's Note:
    Most viruses these days use spoofed email addresses. As such, using an
    Anti-Virus product which automatically notifies the perceived sender of
    a message it believes is infected may well cause more harm than good.
    Someone who did not actually send you a virus may receive the
    notification and scramble their support staff to find an infection which
    never existed in the first place. Suggest such notifications be disabled
    by whomever is responsible for your AV, or at least that the idea is
    considered.
