Hi all,

I just installed a fresh copy of M$ XP Pro + SP2 german and did a 
Windows Update.
 
We all know that M$ takes security seriously, but I'm a bit paranoid if 
it comes to this company. So I took a closer look at the active x 
component they wanted to install.

However, going to Windows Update from the microsoft.de homepage, I got 
this:

Windows says both certificates are valid...
