Where are the KB articles found for the updates

Assuming you know how to find the kb articles in your update history, go to
http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=0
and enter the article number in the For search field. Leave Search Product
at All Products.

Example: type KB915597 and you find out that this was the Windows Defender
definition file update.

These KB's are 920976, 920684, 920296, 920291, 920143, 919946 and 919893

and I can't get http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=0 to give me
anything but the response:

"There are no documents that match your search for "KB920976"

I can query the "internet", but just get generic articles in the German
language.

So what now??

On my Vista systems I can obtain the information
by opening I.E., going to Windows Update,
selecting "View update history", click on the
particular update and another window opens, and
I then select "More information:" and it takes
me to the Microsoft web page with the
information about that update.

Point taken. I guess I should have been more specific and said that you
can't do a search on the specific KBID's Xavier requested using the standard
method Colin mentioned and Xavier used; you end up with dead links. If you
access them using WU, all the links point to the same page which is the one I
posted (barring the Symantec link). At least that is the situation
downloaded to my machine. The others he didn't request apparently have their
own pages.
