MORE INFORMATION

Known issues with this security update

This update is not listed in the Add or Remove Programs item in Control Panel. To uninstall this update, open a command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
Msiexec.exe/i {E8B56B38-A826-11DB-8C83-0011430C73A4} MSIPATCHREMOVE={71E0C3BA-F4F0-4289-84BF-A90235AE667E}
To function correctly, the Forefront Client Security anti-malware agent requires that GDI+ is installed. However, GDI+ is not present on Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 4. For this is reason, Forefront Client Security client setup installs Gdiplus.dll in the anti-malware subdirectory on a Windows 2000 SP4-based computer. Microsoft security bulletin MS09-062 states that Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 is non-affected software. Therefore, this security update is required to resolve the vulnerabilities that are introduced by the deployment of Forefront Client Security in Windows 2000 Service Pack 4.

This update applies only to Windows 2000 Service Pack 4, and this update only updates the Gdiplus.dll file that is deployed by the Forefront Client Security client setup. If a Windows 2000-based computer together with Forefront Client Security has additional vulnerable GDI+ libraries that other software packages install, this installation does not update those GDI+ libraries.

Restart requirement

You must restart the computer after you apply this security update.
