Just an FYI to anyone out there that might have run into something similar, I applied the July Microsoft security updates to the mail relay server. Following that, every hour I got notification that ALL updates failed. After 6 hours of uninstalling, reinstalling MailSecurity, checking my ISA logs (following the update, the updater was trying to use the webproxy service and getting a 407 unauthorized, when it wasn't set to use a proxy at all and didn't need to use one), I finally uninstalled the .NET 1.1 Security Patch and my MailSecurity installation began updating properly immediately upon reboot.

I know there have been a wide number of reported problems with this update, apparently my GFI installation was affected by it as well.

Hi,

According to : http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms07-jul.mspx the update was Microsoft Security Bulletin MS07-040.

Following MS07-040 details as per : http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms07-040.mspx if you are on latest service packs as per the section "Non-affected software", then this update should not be installed.

An alternative if you encounter this issue would be to follow the knowledge base article below so that you run MailSecurity on .NET 2 :

I was trying to follow the step in the kbase article http://kbase.gfi.com/showarticle.asp?id=KBID002668 but I do not have the following file on the server. ContentSecurity\ContentSecurity.AutoUpdater.service.exe.config

I was attempting to follow these steps as I am having a problem with the downloading of updates also.
