Yes I did but because they are both listed as KB890830 I assumed that
even though it showed that it successfully installed yesterday that it
probably hadn't installed correctly.

I stopped the install. I am checking for updates now to see what happens.

Here as well.
It installed correctly yesterday. Status = succesful.
Today it (KB890830) came again. I let it install itself, to see as to
what will happen. It installed correctly, status = succesful. It's twice
on the update history list.
Perhaps NQ is right and it did not install correctly the first time.

Maybe it's an update to itself? It could be that Microsoft found they forgot
something and released it again. They wouldn't necessarily change the
number; it might be like the MSE definition updates that all have the same
KB number but different Definition numbers. Who knows what evil lurks in the
minds of MS ;-)

If you look at the log in Sytem32/debug/mrt.log you might find something
interesting. Mine has a run for yesterday and one for today; both found
no malware, but the versions of the program are different.

From memory, the one with the other updates was around 5 Meg, whereas the later
one was 19 Meg, so it does look as if the later one was a complete program update.
Why MS didn't do the whole lot in one go is another question...

I had posted another message on this updated before I saw this
message. I'm guessing it is safe to install and does not impact other
Antivirus programs (I run Norton Antivirus). How does it impact the
operations of you system?

So, SC Tom's explanation sounds reasonable.If you look at the log in Sytem32/debug/mrt.log you might find something
interesting. Mine has a run for yesterday and one for today; both found

I got two malicious software removal tool updates. One installed, and
the other is waiting to be installed. They are the same number.
I don't know why the first one installed, because I'm supposed to decide
whether or not to install updates.

No, that error you got is very common; common enough to ignore.
The second KB890830 (notice they're always the same KB no; going back
years) was a major program update.
Here's a possible scenario for what happened in an MS office.
Programmer A: I haven't quite got it ready yet. I'll do my best.
Programmer B: It's almost time to release the monthly updates.
Programmer A: Damn. I'm doing what I can.
Programmer B: Release the monthlies.
...........
Programmer A: Here's the new MSRT.
Programmer B: Too late, old chap. The Kraken's been released.
Programmer A goes to boss; boss tells programmer B to release it on its
own. Programmer B does just that.

I went ahead and installed the update today. But, how do you tell it
is running and where do you find the result of scan? Just want to
check and see if it is active?

The MRT runs once, when it is "installed" on a monthly basis. At least
that is what mine does, on an older OS.
A user can also run it manually, at any time.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Malicious_Software_Removal_Tool
"It records its results in a log file located at %windir%\debug\mrt.log.
To run it manually at other times, users can start "mrt.exe" using the
Command Prompt or Run command in the Start Menu.
With Windows 2000 going out of support in July 2010, Microsoft stopped
distributing the MSRT tool to Windows 2000 users via Windows update.
Download and usage of the current versions up to 4.20 (May 2013) was
still possible. Starting with version 5.1 (June 2013) Windows 2000
is not supported anymore."
So I guess that's a difference, between the two versions being discussed.
Loss of Win2K testing, even though Win2K is very close to WinXP
in terms of design concepts.

It's only "active" for a short time. It appears as an update, it gets
downloaded and installed, it runs once and exits, and supposedly tells
you if it found anything of note. Pretty stupid of it not to provide
you with any feedback, if you ask me. Maybe it makes an entry in one of
the Event Logs.
You can run it manually by typing "MRT" in the "Run..." box.
