Hi All...

I just ran a scan on one of our Windows servers, and it came up with

I thought that this was strange, as this server is completely up to

Why is this being flagged as a vulerability?

Many programs come with the gdiplus.dll and mso.dll files, so this  
means an older version of these files is installed somewhere on your  
disk. Microsoft released a tool to patch all the copies of gdiplus :
