WU Active X: This is normal?

My cuzin computer had a bunch of crap installed, so I decided to reformat for him. After installing my drivers, and SP2, I went on Windows update(V6) to download the latest patches for his computer.

I get the standard prompt to download and install the standard wuweb.dll active X control, but after I click install I get the slide down prompt in IE saying it prevented the site from installing an Active X control. I choose to allow the active x control (refresh the site), then I get the prompt saying IE blocked ocget.dll because it cant verify the file.

I didnt have these prompts when using V5, so I wanted to know is other people getting these prompts also and its legit or its something I should dig deeper with.

Thanks

Hi, I recently asked the same question as there are two Active X updates for Windows Update and Microsoft Windows Update > both are safe. There is a link in this thread that should help, Tom
