beware jpeg

This has to one of the worst Windows Update "experiences". Unlike other updates, which clearly confirm that you are updated or not.

This one requires you to first install an ActiveX control under the premise that it will scan your system for affected graphics programs.

After installing the control, all you get is a message to go back to windows update.

I'm a little puzzled, does this control do anything about the other programs that may be affected by the vulnerability or not?
