    *Note if you do not have it set to delete, the autoupdate will repair itself

    1)On the management server - set the antivirus policy to diable messaging (so your users aren't annoyed)

    2)Disable on-access scanning

    3)Hilight the PC's right-click and force them to comply with that policy

    4) Waite 20 min...The users will no longer be bugged..The policy will go out (magic), the updater will get repaired..and the repaired update delivered.

    All 150 of my nodes were repaired in minutes using this method :-) ...Everyone remain calm ;-)
