Has anyone seen this before?

I was closing down my PC last night and when the box opened with the option to stand by, turn off or restart came up the option to shut down said 'shut down and install updates'. There was a highlighted line below that said 'shut down without installing updates'. I chose that option.
This morning I switched the PC on and went to shut it down to see if that message was still there and it wasn't.
Anyway I took a screen shot and here it is...

I never noticed any update icon in the systray that night so don't know if a windows update was downloaded or not.

(Latest Belarc Safety Advisor update shows no missing windows hotfixes)

Machine is running XP Home.

Thanks.

 

Hi JJ

Go to the windows update (should be in your start menu)
or
http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us

Select the custom box this will scan your computer and you will
get a list of updates available

In options you can also review your update history

 

the computers at my college always have install updates and shut down as an option.

 

Yes. I have seen it before. On my own computer.
If I'm not mistaking you can get that screen if you have Windows set to download all available updates and ask you before installing them.

If you shut down the computer before you get the first prompt to install, that should be the result.

Thanks all. I'm off to windows updates to see what's what.

Yeah, there was one 'genuine windows validation' update available.

Thanks again...
