These are not security updates. KB887742 is for a stop error (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/887742) and KB886185 is an update for network scope on the Windows Firewall (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;886185) . The MBSA scans for Security Updates only, not every hotfix ever released. Note that a "Critical" patch is not necessarily a "Security" patch. You may be thinking of the "Maximum severity" levels of the MS*-xxx security bulletins which are not the same thing.

However Windows Update shows still needing KB887742 and KB886185. MBSA shows no critical patches need updated. Systeminfo shows that both KB887742 and KB886185 are NOT installed. I'm using latest MBSA. Anyone else see this? Kinda sucks :( James Lay Network Manager/Security Officer AmeriBen Solutions/IEC Group Deo Gloria!!!
