WMP 6.4 update

WU says I need KB925398 for WMP 6.4

I've been using WMP 10 for awhile. I've blocked the update so far. Should
I continue to block it?

No, cause you have WMP6.4 installed too (although you may not have
have been aware of yet).

You'll find a "mplayer2.exe" in your Program Files\Windows Media Player
folder, do you? Fine, since that's normal in Windows != Vista. Now
execute the mplayer.exe and in there on "?/Help -> Info". See the
version? It's WMP 6.4 ;-)

It's there for backward compatibility reasons.

So your system *affected* by the security hole which is intended
to be closed with KB925398. Install the update and you're fine.

Bye,
