Status: offline 		Hi, I have just installed and started using this product and notice that a scan from GFI doesn't match a scan from Microsoft.  Is there any reason for this?

Thanks.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the reply Drew.

In this particular instance the Microsoft scan is saying that MS08-031 is required but doesn't appear on the GFI scan.  But on the other hand, GFI says that MS08-024 is required but doesn't appear on the Microsoft scan.  Both of these patches are described as being critical and both are supported by GFI.  Am I missing something?

Thanks.
