Did that. Here's what I found:
File MS04-025 Ver. My Version
Browseui.dll 6.0.2800.1400 6.0.2800.1622
Mshtml.dll 6.0.2800.1458 6.0.2800.1498
Shdocvw.dll 6.0.2800.1400 6.0.2800.1622
shlwapi.dll 6.0.2800.1552 6.0.2800.1612
urlmon.dll 6.0.2800.1400 6.0.2800.1485
wininet.dll 6.0.2800.1405 6.0.2800.1496
