There is a separate newsgroup where you may want to post in. Yes I have seen
similar results but usually it is for "notifications" which you can suppress
when scanning with MBSA from the command line. The KB article below may be
helpful. At the second link you will see that MBSA2.0 is now in beta and
available for download. Hopefully it will end some of the confusion. ---
