[Paul]

When I install this 'patch' from Microsoft, it self installs. What else am
I supposed to do? I cannot see where is has done anything. Can I assume I
did not have the worm?
TIA

Paul,
That's all it does, it installs updated files and registry keys for
ole32.dll, rpcrt4.dll and rpcss.dll.

For information on the worm and the vulnerability you can read more here:
