Belarc Advisor and Feb 2008 Updates

[Dwarf]

If you run the updated version of the Belarc Advisor as I have done after
installing this month's updates, you may find that you may have a missing
Microsoft Security Update. This update is KB942831 and is rated by Belarc as
Important. This update did not appear in this month's releases automatically.
I have tried to install this update manually twice and have come across the
same message on each ocassion: 'Windows Update Standalone Installer' - 'The
update does not apply to your system'.

Change Notification Vulnerability - CVE-2008-0074

What systems are primarily at risk from the vulnerability?
Web hosting providers that allow their customers to upload ASP pages to their hosted web sites
are primarily at risk from exploitation of this vulnerability. In addition, Microsoft Windows
2000 Service Pack 4 systems running IIS 5.0 are at risk from this vulnerability because IIS is
enabled by default. Supported editions of Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista are
also at risk if the service is enabled.

Clear now ? Don't completely rely on Belarc for what should or should
not be installed. Heck, even MS' own tools can hardly keep up <w>
