Although I have the latest Anti virus updates on my machines, can anybody give me some tips on how I can check if a security patch is installed? The program appears in add/remove programs in control panel as 'windows 2000 hotfix kb823980'..

Thanks

Steve

If Not Keyexist("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Windows 2000\SP5\KB...")
Shell "KB..."
Endif

I don't know what it is for NT or XP

The registry key might exist even if the install failed. The most secure check is to verify the affected files version numbers.

Or use M$ checking tool:

MSBA or the specific 823980 tool both downloadable from M$
