I searched for 'KB2538242' on that page and found one link for a download. On the above page, I followed the link for IT professionals to here: I think this update applies to my PC because one of the installed programs is 'Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable'. I have installed Belarc Advisor, which tells me which applicable MS updates have not yet been installed. So far, I haven't connected my new PC to the internet. I could use advice from forum members who already do manual updates. You can get more information by clicking the links to visit the relevant pages on the vendors website.I have a legal copy of Windows 8.1, but I don't want to allow automatic downloads of Microsoft updates because it would involve a firewall rule allowing svchost.exe to send to all IP addresses, and svchost.exe is a vector for malware/spyware. The links provided point to pages on the vendors websites. The information is provided 'As Is' without warranty of any kind.
