As far as I'm concerned, you should always install *all* critical
updates.

With regard to Microsoft GDI + Detection Tool, could it be a tool to detect
dodgy versions of MS products?

GDI + protects you from contamonated pic files.

GDI + protects you from contaminated pic files. No need to be paranoid.

Thanks Spiderman, I've now installed it.

Just because you're paranoid, it doesn't mean that they
