Check that the systems were rebooted after the patches were installed.

Nessus reports patches as missing






We ran Nessus with local Administrator rights on a Windows XP SP1 system. 
It reports several patches as missing.  When looking at add/remove 
programs 
the patch appears to be installed.  Is this a false-positive?  The patches 

are pushed out using Patchlink.

What else could I do to confirm if the patch is applied correctly?

Thanks for the help.
