Again, there are no Windows update service packs, or other
Windowsupdate critical updates that modify a volumes MBR. To
do so might interfere with the existing Windows boot (or
alternative method used to boot windows) and create a totaly
unbootable system.
If you can recall the instance where the MBR was corrupted or
damaged, or more spificaly, WHICH crticial update you installed
created the problem, reporting it as a "bug" to Microsoft would
be a prudent step.
To report a critical update bug, use the Windows report tool in
the System Information application (Programs/Accessories/System
Tools/System Information).
