You should disable virus protection when installing a patch/update assuming it
is from a trusted source such as Windows Update or choose the option to let it
run once to let the patch install. If the patch is installed and you are getting
this message, you should make sure that your virus protection has up to date
definitions and run a full system/disk virus scan. --- Steve
