getting updates problem

[Ben]

Hi,

I got a message saying something could be updated and clicked the link which
eventually gave me this message on the page:

NOTE: Detection shows that Office products on your computer have been updated
by your Office product administrator from the administrative installation
point on a server. This means that you should not update Office products
yourself. If you are an Office product administrator, please visit the Office
Resource Kit for more information.

I have a single computer at home without a server and have never updated this
before. How did this come about?

Microsoft does not send people messages inviting them to install updates.

Microsoft does not send people messages inviting them to install updates.

That's fine because I never received one. This came about from within the
product itself and directly from the microsoft site using microsoft update. I
am familiar with the junk emails sent out with viruses and the like. The
microsoft update web site gave me the below message.

Would appreciate and help. Or maybe I this is better for a WIn XP newsgroup?

regards,
Ben

Actually, I managed to get the updates in the end.

Thanks,
