    When this update is installed, it performs a validation process for the copy of Windows that is running on your computer...

    I have absoulty no problem with MS verifing the validity of my products; however, this update installs as an unsigned\no publisher update and I do have a problem with that.  I removed it. When I view it in installed updates there is no publisher listed.  Why is there no publisher?
