Question about Windows XP update
The icon indicating a new Windows XP update popped up on my system (the exclamation point). It mentioned four new updates, including some 3.4 Mb one. So I clicked on the icon to update, but the icon disappeared, and nothing was downloaded (as far as I can tell).

When I connected manually to the Windows update site, it said I needed just ONE update, and there was no mention of a 3.4 Mb download, or of the other two, for that matter.

Could I have hit by some sort of virus that mimics an automatic Windows XP update?
