Why are the definition updates to Microsoft Security Essentials put into the Optional category in Windows Update? Seems like they're of the Important sort.
@the dog: Thanks for pointing that out, "1 optional update available"
That is kind of strange, but I think they may reserve important updates for changes to the OS and such. Since Security Essentials is a separate program that not all users have they probably have to put it's updates as recommended.
@Cbullins Official Movieguy: I don't think users see updates that don't apply to them though. If you don't have Office you won't get Office updates, and many of those are marked Important.
