Ms Security Update... Unchecked Buffer in Windows Shell Could Enable System Compromise (821557) " An attacker could only seek to exploit this vulnerability by hosting a malicious file on a share. " I have a 'Stand alone' Computer - not on a LAN This Update is rather large - 1.5Mb Am I correct in thinking that I don't need this Update Thanks - Lesley
