I was doing some testing of the Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta tool. I have
played with this software for sometime however I missed this before. It
seems the Microsoft Beta recognizes the Java activeX control in Internet
Explorer as belonging to Sun Systems, this seems appropriate. Even
recognizes a Yahoo DLL as a known DLL (I did say this was a test VM).
But as the attached jpg shows the Microsoft Windows Update control is
unknown, sheesh thats why there are so many windows compromises.....
