just went through a couple of updates on W7/64 and after rebooting and reviewing what was installed, I just clicked on a link related to kb2505438, so hxxp://support.micrososft.com/kb/2505438 and I got rerouted, in Google Chrome to hxxp://hus.parkingspa.com/hc3.asp
…same in Internet Explorer, same in Firefox. In Firefox I noticed that for the page to be displayed, I had to allow a script called… note the spelling… “micrososft.com” .
@spg SCOTT anyway there’s no rerouting, the bad link comes directly from the Windows Update info panel in Windows. Lol I didn’t notice, but I saw the script in Firefox, as mentioned in my first post, with the wrong MS spelling.
I just tried this on my Windows 7 system and the link goes to: Slow performance in applications that use the DirectWrite API on a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2505438
I googled a bit and have seen one page from this morning.
I did see a thread on sevenforums and I think someone said that they were in the process of sorting it…but now I can’t get to the thread, so I can’t confirm it.
That said, I do have a comment on the blog saying basically that the link was updated.
Oddly, I don’t even have the update yet…
Okay, checked again, and it’s there. Link is correct also.
okay I’m in the middle of a full scan with Avast (unrelated to the thread here)… when it’s done I’ll just remove the update and re-install. The bad link is saved locally here and there’s no way to update this alone. This will probably be corrected when I do the update again.
that was riduculous, as of f****** course the link would remain in Windows Update history, saved locally at the time of the first update. Anyway a new install of the same KB still brings the same bad infolink associated with it. Better to just forget about that :
