    I have heard of this happening with the Windows Update Cleanup so I don't use it.
    It is only suppose to clean up old update files that were replaced by new updates.
    Guess its got some bugs.

    Well, I was going to post that those were old patches but good thing I scanned the thread. :) I might look silly.

    Haven't run the cleanup tool in awhile.
    I have the aforementioned KB's installed Feb, 10th 2015, but did have something unusual. Three MSE definition updates in one day where usually it may be one sometimes two.

    I got a definition update this morning then had two more this afternoon. (Same ones you show.) Must be something bad cooking on the ole interweb. Or.....MS goofed on something. :)

    Same thing happened to me, I usually get one in the morning and that's it till the next day, but these two popped up since the last auto check at 1:03pm edt.

    Probably has something to do with the large Solar Flare hit from this morning, it had a KP Index of 8, every business I've gone to in the last two days has been experiencing PC problems mostly slowness, Could be caused by satellites if their using for them data transmission.

    That just might be the slowness of updating download for W-10 and all the static on my radios A.M. stations.

    Good points Bear, I didn't think of the downloads and the static was definitely something going on in the ionosphere.

    I think it was tied more to threats. Perhaps there's a rash of new or different signatures for malware. Whenever I see a large definition file, say >7-800KB, I always run a full scan after the update even though I have a weekly scan scheduled. This last batch totaled over a Meg. The definitions accumulate around the clock. I've forced several updates during the day on occasions and almost always got something. They might range is size from ~40KB to ~100KB+ but it was pretty rare that there was nothing after a few hours.

    Something must be up, I just installed KB2310138 (Definition 1.193.3192.0), it's the largest I've seen at 1,004KB...
