Determining if you are affected:
Browse to the C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files or C:\WINNT\Downloaded Program Files folder and check the version number of the "WScanCtl Class" object. If the version number is less than 1,1,0,1048, you need to update the ActiveX control.
Another way to determine if you are affected is to Start Internet Explorer, and then select "Tools" > "Internet Options" > "General" tab. On the "General" tab, click on the "Settings" button in the "Temporary Internet Files" section. On the "Settings" dialog window, click on the button labeled "View Objects" and then check the version of the "WScanCtl Class" object. If the version number is less than 1,1,0,1048, you need to update the ActiveX control.
