Cannot load security CAB file.

Hello ,

Thank you for posting.

From your post, my understanding on this issue is: You're experiencing the
error message "Cannot Load Security CAB File" when trying to complete a
MBSA scan. If I'm off base, please feel free to let me know.

I believe the following message mentioned in the MBSA 2.0 FAQ is helpful:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/tools/mbsa2/qa.mspx

Q. Why am I seeing error "Failed to download security update databases"
followed by "The catalog file is damaged or an invalid catalog"?

A. When downloading the Microsoft Update offline catalog (wsusscan.cab)
before each attempt to scan, downloaded files are checked for a valid
Microsoft digital signature before being used. When the file is missing, or
the digital signature cannot be verified, these errors may occur. To avoid
this error message, it is recommended that the 835732
<http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=835732> update be installed
on all Windows 2000 computers running MBSA 2.0 to perform scanning.. This
error may also appear if you use a proxy server such as Microsoft ISA 2000
Server if it does not include a policy that permits anonymous access to the
Microsoft Update site. A resolution for this is described in Microsoft
Knowledge base article 885819
<http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=885819>.

Let me know if this works for you or if you receive a similar error after
trying the steps above.
