Was there a fix included for FREAK?
Did everyone else's machines reboot twice?
Something I noticed while d/l ing the MSRT
What's up with that?The Malicious software removal tool currently available for download is the February 2015 version. The March 2015 version will be available in the next couple of weeks.
Download Malicious Software Removal Tool from Official Microsoft Download Center
Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool
For the bulletin release that occurs on the second Tuesday of each month, Microsoft has released an updated version of the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool on Windows Update, Microsoft Update, Windows Server Update Services, and the Download Center. No updated version of the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool is available for out-of-band security bulletin releases.The March 2015 MSRT release will not be available to Windows 2003 x64-bit operating systems via Windows Update. Regular downloads will continue with the April 2015 update. Windows 2003 x64-bit customers can run any other Microsoft security software to help ensure they are protected.

I installed 13 updates that had been downloaded for this system. All installed with no issues and the system seems to be running just fine. I did a full system backup with system image to an external USB HDD on 03/06/15. I usually run a backup just prior to Patch Tuesday as a precaution. I use a Father/Son set of external HDDs for full back ups as well as a separate HDD for a System Image backup also.
I've got 26 pending: 13 for Office 2010 and 13 for Windows. I'm waiting until Saturday morning to download and install them.
My Windows 7 went crazy, not by updates but caused by Panda Antivirus:
Panda Security Rolls Out Automatic Fix for Botched Signature Update - Softpedia
Panda Antivirus thought, that everything on computer is cause for alarm (virus), deleted important Windows files and I was not able to reboot anymore as OS wasn't able to restart :/
So, looks like MS was finally able to deliver updates without problems.
I'm still glad, that Panda Antivirus use that "Cloud" technology, so developers get info in seconds if something bad happens.
I had 11; 10 security, 1 IE10. I installed all in one shot since they weren't a couple for this, a couple for that.... So far, so good....
For Borg:
I received the March msrt on the 7th so I'm not sure what's up.
FYI:
The monthly msrt only runs a quick scan by default when installed, if you want to run a full or custom scan see: Malicious Software Removal Tool
Be forewarned though, a full scan will last as long or longer than a CHKDSK. Mine took 4.5hours, but tales are about that one fellow's took a half hour short of a day.
thats odd; I dont recall getting the updates for windows yesterday. Were they supposed to be for 10 or 7?
