My Windows 7 computers are both 64 bit and Vista is 32 bit.

I understand that from the article, but I was questioning the KB931125 optional roots certificate update which was offered to two of my computers and not the Win 7 laptop.

(Ifirst saw this in screenshots in the Security Forum regarding the current Windows Updates where it is listed as optional.)

I still think it's odd that my Vista and other Windows 7 64 bit computer both received that roots certificate update.

Since I didn't receive any confirmation or denial of the XP update, but did allow the UAC do you think it did anything? I haven't rebooted the computer and I still have the restore point. (I've been delaying installing the new flash and browser update until this is resolved - I guess it is even though it didn't get the update.)

That link is indeed for Windows XP.

The following information applies for Windows Vista, Windows 7:

said by Microsoft.com :
Root certificates on Windows Vista and later are distributed via the automatic root update mechanism – that is, per root certificate. When a user visits a secure Web site (by using HTTPS SSL), reads a secure email (S/MIME), or downloads an ActiveX control that is signed (code signing) and encounters a new root certificate, the Windows certificate chain verification software checks Microsoft Update for the root certificate. If it finds it, it downloads the current Certificate Trust List (CTL) containing the list of all trusted root certificates in the Program, and verifies that the root certificate is listed there; it then downloads the specified root certificate to the system and installs it in the Windows Trusted Root Certification Authorities Store. If the root certificate is not found, the certificate chain is not completed, and the system returns an error. To the user, a successful root update is seamless. The user does not see any security dialog boxes or warnings. The download happens automatically. In addition, Windows Vista and later client SKUs support weekly pre-fetching from Microsoft Update to check for updated root certificate properties (for example, extended validation (EV), code signing or server authentication properties, which are certificate properties added to a root certificate).

I looked in "installed updates" and it is not listed there. I looked in Event Viewer (system) and didn't see any reference to it. I did find a reference about the other two updates not being installed.

I think these root certificate updates are important and this is probably a security problem. Is it a problem if I don't use IE?

I saw that but didn't attempt to install it because it says it's for XP sp3...it also says it can't be uninstalled.

Should I try to install it anyway?

Thanks.

I checked for updates a number of times and it is not being offered. I searched around Microsoft and found two updates relating to the Root Certificate problem of last year and I downloaded both of them (KB 1607712 and 2616676). I made a restore point and tried to install them. Microsoft said "This update is not applicable to your computer".

I purchased this laptop after the Roots Certificate problem occurred.

Does anyone know why I'm not getting that update? Thank you.

EDIT: I forgot to mention...when I use IE and tried the Microsoft Catalog or Download Center I am only offered that update for XP!
