I managed to finally do the update but only after doing a right-click save file
on the 11.21 exe file on the WL download page. If users click on the link,
instead of a direct download, like in my case, it tried to run malware like
Windows Download Manager2 and others.. Be very careful.. Only right-click and
save file..

I updated this morning without any problems. Downloaded the update from the
writelog site and installed.
Everything seems to be running normal.

Subject: [WriteLog] Possible Malware issue with 11.21??
I attempted to download WL update 11.21 and got hit immediately with
malware. Anyone else had an issue?? One in particular was "UpdateNowPro"
which is well known malware. It seems to have happened immediately after
clicking on the download link. I canceled the download but the malware got
past. Although I was able to remove the malware, I'm not going to try this
again until I know for sure it's clean..
