Possible Issue with Forefront Update KB2508823
Included in this Patch Tuesday is a Forefront update KB2508823[1] (Client Version: 1.5.1996.0). We have received a number of reports that the KB2508823 update fails during the install. Once the update fails, the existing Forefront client is also removed. This leaves the machine without any anti-malware protection. We recommend you hold off deploying the update until confirmation from Microsoft. Microsoft have posted a similar warning here: http://blogs.technet.com/b/clientsecurity/archive/2011/03/08/fcs-v1-march-2011-update.aspx [1] http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2508823 Chris Mohan	Chris 105 Posts ISC Handler

Microsoft had an update on the TechNet blog: http://blogs.technet.com/b/clientsecurity/archive/2011/03/08/fcs-v1-march-2011-update.aspx It seems the issue is caused by a previously undetected problem in Oct 2010 update. And this issue won't affect windows XP.	Anonymous
