KB890830 MSRT V2.5 Dec 2008 not offered via AU yet

[Guest Mltwwlco@noemail.noemail]

I have checked 3 XP Pro systems and 1 Vista Ultimate SP1 system and none

of them have been offered the Dec 2008 version of the Windows Malicious

Software Removal Tool, but have received other updates from yesterday's

releases. KB894199 does not indicate that this update has been pulled, and

I have verified that V2.5 has not run yet by examining the

%SystemRoot%\Debug\mrt .log files, they have not been updated since Nov

2008. I have also manually run Windows Update on another XP SP2 system, and

it is not available via that channel either.

Microsoft, what is the status of this update?

Answered during the monthly TechNet security webcast, MSRT v2.5 was

pulled due to some false positive detections, new version to be posted soon.
