Security update KB873374 fake-out for all languages
Update for Windows XP (KB873374) Fake-out <http://unattended.sourceforge.net> says (and I agree):
Critical update 873374 (GDI+ Detection Tool) <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/873374>
What a load of crap. All this "tool" does is check to see if you have various Microsoft products installed, then throw up a dialog directing you to their Web page on the topic. For a fresh installation which applies the relevant updates, this is useless, so just this once we violate our principles and patch the registry directly.
