When I reported the bug I thought it might be a security issue and I still think it might. In my case the window opened spontaneously and I got notification of updates but when I closed that window without updating and clicked on update manager to deliberately open the window and check for updates I got message that there were no updates. This happened twice and the second time I made certain that to close the spontaneously opened window without updating but still, when I myself opened update manager, I got notification there were no updates .
Has someone (big if) found a way to mimic the update window? If so it can be used it to spoof us into downloading malicious software. Even if they don't use it for this purpose it implies a possible weakness in system security. But I emphasize that I don't know if this is indeed the case. Other than that I have no idea of what is happening. Chauncellor wrote: > Still getting dupes of this.
