Windows Update

I was one of the peeps burned by the windows update 811942 and now it sits in my windows update page waiting to be installed. I was wondering if MS has fixed it yet? Is it now safe to download and install?

Microsoft shut down www.windowsupdate.com. This site was a redirect to the actual update site and is not really needed. If you do updates from IE (Tools->Windows Update) or from the Windows Update entry in your Start Menu or from the Microsoft Homepage, you'll be fine. Microsoft is not going to remove their ability to centrally locate updates for end users.

Also, the update has long since been removed, fixed, and reposted.

how come u guys can install the updates? I couldn't install them.
When I go to microsoft.com and click on Windows Update, then it scanned successfully. But then when I click on review and install updates, it went for a little bit then stopped and said failed "No Updates Were Installed". Why is this? anyone know? thx.
