My Event Log has been filling up on a daily basis with the same 2 error/warning messages, all of which seem to be related to Windows Server Update Services (3.0 SP1) downloading updates.
The error and warning follow:

I'm interested to know why these downloads cannot be scanned. I'm also wondering if I need to add an exclusion but, to what? I believe these downloads are stored in a SQL database. Do I exclude the database? Are these error/warning messages in response to an exclusion? What provider is actually scanning them, the Standard Shield, the Network Shield, the Web Shield or the MS Proxy/ISA Shield?
Ultimately, I'd like for these files to be scanned and if that's not possible I'd like to either create an exclusion or stop logging these error/warning messages.
Any ideas on how to deal with this? Thanks.
