Plugin Problem for Detecting Windows Task Scheduler Vulnerabitliy

Hello,

I have scanned some Windows servers with Nessus 2.0.12 for Linux (RH 9) and 
keep getting the following high severity for this even when the patch listed 
has been applied:

"The remote host is running a version of Windows which contains a flaw in
the task scheduler which may lead to arbitrary execution of commands 
on the remote host.
To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would need to lure a user on
the remote host to take certain steps to execute a .job file, or to visit
a rogue web site, then he may be able to execute arbitary commands on the 
remote host.
Solution : http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms04-022.mspx
Risk factor : High"

Can someone out there tell me if there is a fix for this available, or should I 
just disable this plugin?  Thanks!
