I just downloaded several Critical Updates for my WinXP (sp3) and

In the past it read:

Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool v2.8, March 2009

Results Summary:

No infection found.

The new log reads:
Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool v2.9, April 2009
Started On Tue Apr 14 17:38:23 2009
Security policy adjusted. Engine requests reboot and try again,
ignoring. Results Summary:

Does the new line -

"Security policy adjusted. Engine requests reboot and try again,
ignoring."

- mean anything? Or is it just something new that will continue to
show in the logs?
I noticed it on two of my computer's Malicious logs (re KB890830).

thanks, Alice

AFAIK this is nothing to worry about. But you could try posting in
m.p.security or m.p.windowsupdate if you're very concerned, to see whether
they have any clues.
