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
