Why is security update package KB2604044 not available through Windows Update? 
Security update KB2604044 was previously offered as KB2656353 in MS11-100. Customers who have successfully installed KB2656353 do not need to take any action. Customers who have not installed KB2656353 should manually apply update KB2604044.
