Don't trust Microsoft or your vendors. Better scans:
Today, a long-time client applied several updates to their standardized XP desktops for this GDIplus flaw, both Microsoft's and their third-party software vendors. The vetted updates weren't enough. This scanning tool:

http://isc.sans.org/gdiscan.php

from the Internet Storm Center identifed five other vulnerable incarnations of GDIplus in their company standard installation - including some Microsoft programs that Microsoft's own download did not update.

Forewarned is affirmatively armed. Do your due dilligence and scan.
