Thier really is no KB serial nos on a xp OS,maybe youre thinking something

try going to run,type:WinVer
 
i received mail from my email antivirus team to update windows security to
avoid the damage caused by Trojan.Satiloler.B and they also provided a link
which goes to Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-001.

there find Security Update for Windows XP x64 Edition (KB912919) and some
more updates are available for Windows XP with various kb numbers.

can i know what these kb number stands for ? do i have such numbers included
with my windows XP ?

Why not go to the Windows Update site and let Windows Update tell you which update you need.

In IE, go to Tools, select Windows Update. Follow the prompts.

You may also wish to check your automatic update settings -

Windows Automatic Updates Overview

If you have automatic updates turned on, you may have already installed the security update.

If you have any further problems post to the Windows Update Newsgroup

Those numbers refer to knowledge base articles. They aren't included
with XP. KB article 912919 describes the Wm. exploit and the links to
the patches for it.

You can search the knowledge base
http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1
Modify the search type to search for Article ID and search for that
article number.

They don't "stand for" anything. They identify particular Microsoft
Knowledge Base (kb) articles. KB912919, for example, refers to this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=912919 The article describes a particular
Windows problem and a fix for that problem.

do i have such numbers
included with my windows XP ?

No. KB numbers aren't part of Windows. The particular patches that they
refer to are, however, identified with those KB numbers. To see which fixes
you have installed, Go to Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs, and make
sure the box Show Updates is checked. Down toward the bottom of the list,
you will see "Windows - Software Updates," followed by a list of which you
have installed, each identified by a particular KB number where appropriate.
