I believe you were answered in another newsgroup.
https://s.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/alertus.aspx

In the future you may want to please consider use of a cross-post
by selecting the multiple newsgroups for recipients of one post,
rather than multi-posting individually to each newsgroup.
Doing a cross-post, when it is appropriate, causes all responses
to be collected into one thread that all will see, and that will only
have to be downloaded one time.
