A security issue has been identified that could allow an attacker to remotely compromise your Windows-based system using Windows Media Player and gain control over it. You can help protect your computer by installing this update from Microsoft. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer.

There are 4 Updates for me to get.

I'm running WMP 11.

Is the above update needed?

If not, how do I get around not D/L it from the Windows Update site.

It's all at one time.

Do I have to D/L one Update at a time?

Went back to Windows Update page and did a Custom Scan and was given the option of unchecking

the update for Security Update for Windows Media Player 6.4 (KB925398).

Do I need this Update?
