Well, I thought there were different Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86) versions
I checked the currently installed programs and updates in Add or Remove Programs and I saw the number
9.0.30729.17 that IS my confusion, so If I install Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86) from the Url you gave me, will it appear in Add or Remove Programs  such as Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x86 9.0.30729.17?

Also is there any service pack for this?

Thank you very much in advance for any information you can provide me

FYI, the one you just posted.....

"Overview
A security issue has been identified that could allow an attacker to compromise your Windows-based system with Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package and gain complete control over it. You can help protect your computer by installing this update from Microsoft. "

Installs the 9.0.2.21022.218.....

The one you are asking about might not be available..... Might be a part of the VS suite from MS, or packaged with some 3rd party apps....

Found these three versions though, in reference only....

Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x86 9.0.21022
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x86 9.0.30729.17
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x86 9.0.30729.4148

Still researching....
