Need to Fix Windows Package for KB2656356

<< < (2/2)

Shane:
I find that random files in that folder get corrupted a lot. Either because bad sectors on the hard drive, or an update crashed while installing and so the file didnt get written to correctly. I have also seen the antivirus cause the problem as it was scanning the file before letting it write to the drive, and something went wrong and the file is the correct size but is all empty spaces.

I haven't seen viruses target this folder, since there is nothing to gain from it, but doesn't mean they wont target it lol

Boggin:
According to the MS article it's only a remote security loophole possibility, but something had to corrupt it and it's probably as you suggest, although a robust anti malware scan now and again can be helpful.

Thanks for the excellent feedback. I have know idea how you guys know all this stuff.  I did discover that the KB file was a security update going back to March of 2013. Since I ran Win AllinOne V.3, my machine seems to be running so much better. IE was almost unusable before, with a lot of circle time, white pages and non responding messages. Same with Outlook but to a much lesser extent. I will save the fixes Shane provided and I'll run the scan. But for the time I'm hesitant to do more than just enjoy a smoother running.
Thanks again, very grateful.
