Lucky blundering with Vista, PerfectDisk, Secunia PSI and Windows Update

I recently installed the defragger, PerfectDisk. After running this week's
Windows Update I then ran the latest version of Secunia Personal Software
Inspector (PSI) 0.9.0.6 (RC4) which showed that two copies of Microsoft's
XML6 Driver "msxml6.dll" were out of date and buried away at:

C:\Program Files\Raxco\PerfectDisk2008Install\x64\Program Files
64\Raxco\PerfectDisk2008\msxml6.dll
C:\Program Files\Raxco\PerfectDisk2008Install\x86\program
files\Raxco\PerfectDisk2008\msxml6.dll

Accordingly I renamed both of these "msxml6OLD.dll" and replaced them with
the new copy that Windows Update had obligingly left at c:\Windows\System
32\msxml6.dll.

So far as I can tell PerfectDisk is now running happily in normal and
boot-time modes, while Secunia is showing my software as fully patched.

In the hope that my blundering approach is valid, I offer this in case it
helps other PerfectDisk users: yet perhaps I should have left Secunia to nag
away until Raxco offers an update for PerfectDisk?

Everything had been running fine and continues to do so. I had perceived it
to be good practice to keep abreast of all security updates, but I am not
sure if that perception is correct, or, if so, whether the changes I made on
this occasion were a valid way of achieving that result.
