This month's MSRT (cited above) adds detection/removal of:
BrowserModifier: Win32/Neobar - a browser modifier that can change your web browser settings without adequate consent.
and
Win32/Rovnix - a malware family can download other threats onto your PC, such as Win32/Carberp and Win32/Vundo.

WARNING: The link for this separate download of the MSRT is now pre-checking a box to also download "MSN default homepage & Bing default search engine". Be sure to uncheck this, unless you really want it!
Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT, MRT) for August, version 5.39
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/malicious-software-removal-tool-details.aspx
Reminder: Users who are paranoid about the remote possibility of a FP can opt to run this tool from a Command Prompt, appending a /N parameter [for "detect only" mode].

An observation: BEFORE allowing Windows to search for updates, I first downloaded/installed the APPROPRIATE version of
MS16-098 Security Update for Windows Kernel-Mode Drivers (3178466)
[ which actually is numbered as kb 3177725 ]
After doing so (and rebooting), I allowed Windows Updates to search, and it found the remaining updates in just a few minutes :emotion-1: .
Perhaps just a coincidence? I can't say with any certainty.

Here We Go Again: Windows 10 Cumulative Update KB3176493 Failing to Install
Some of the reports that we’ve come across while searching for more information about these issues claim that Windows 10 cumulative update KB3176493, which is specifically aimed at PCs running version 1511 (November Update), fails to install and instead returns an error saying that updates “couldn’t be installed, undoing changes.”
news.softpedia.com/.../here-we-go-again-windows-10-cumulative-update-kb3176493-failing-to-install-507152.shtml
That link describes exactly my Win 10 update experience. Gotta love those automatic updates ... I'll just wait for the automatic fix.
