Use this tool to confirm that you have the patch... If you don't it will
notify you that you do not have it [you probably do but I have heard of
cases where add/remove isn't showing it]
MBSA is available for download at:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/e/e/8ee73487-4d36-4f7f-92f2-2bdc5c5385b3/mbsasetup.msi
The main thing to be concerned about it the top part that indicates the
patches you are missing.

-- "Don't lose sight of security. Security is a state of being, not a state of budget. He with the most firewalls still does not win. Put down that honeypot and keep up to date on your patches. Demand better security from vendors and hold them responsible.
