This is a crucial and impacting change, as the addition of monthly Security Updates expands the Image footprint from month to month. • The current catalog files must be downloaded from the Internet before an OFFline mode scan. It is strongly recommended that these files be downloaded on a weekly basis to ensure that the current security database is being used for scanning. • Installation history (explicitly installed/effectively installed) no longer reflects those updates that have been superseded by another update. The behavior of this feature follows the behavior for missing updates, where only the most recent non-superseded update is shown. • Workaround: Refer to the bulletin, fixlist, or TechNet search page to identify each previous bulletin that has been included in the update in question from the Current Update Compliance listing.
