If you look at that article, you'll see that it's from over 3 years ago.
If you have XP SP2, that's been included. If you regularly go to
Windows Update (once or month or so) or have automatic updates enabled,
you version is up-to-date.
Note that the virus scanner warning does Not mean that your PC is
vulnerable. It just means that it found some file that would try to use
the exploit if it can.
If the virus scanner reports the same file all the time, maybe you
should get rid of it. But if it's a DBX file, do NOT delete the DBX
file. That would delete all the mail in that folder. You need to find
the individual message to delete.

Well, I every now and then my virus scanner will say it has detected
the
"Bloodhound.exploit.6" virus. This is Microsoft Internet
Explorer/Outlook
Express vulnerability resulting from the incorrect handling of HTML
files
embedded in CHM files. It seems microsoft does have a patch to fix
this issue
on the following page,
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms04-013.mspx
however, if you visit the page you will see that they have a patch for
everything except Outlook Express 6 SP2. I have XP profession w/ SP2
on my
computer, so I was alittle confused on which patch to install. I tried
to
install the patch for Outlook Express 6 SP1 and it said that "Outlook
Express
6 SP1 must first be installed on this computer." Can someone please
help me
out here?
