Windows NT Invalid URL Vulnerability Patch

Used Windows NT Invalid URL Vulnerability Patch for Windows?

Developer’s Description

Eliminate a security vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) that could disable an affected web server.

If an affected Web server receives a particular type of invalid URL, it could, under certain conditions, start a chain of events that would culminate in an invalid memory request that would cause the IIS service to fail. This would prevent the server from providing Web services. This vulnerability does not provide the opportunity to compromise any data on the server or to usurp any administrative privileges on the server. An affected machine could be put back into service by restarting the IIS service. Although the effect of the vulnerability manifests itself through IIS, the underlying problem actually lies within Windows NT 4.0. However, the only scenarios identified to date involve IIS. Nevertheless, it is possible that scenarios for exploiting the vulnerability through Windows NT 4.0 do exist, and as a result, customers using Windows NT 4.0 should consider applying the patch.

Summary
For context I want to mention here that I also installed software through zdnet, although not the URL vulnerability patch, reran the scan, and the scan software still said I needed to download the software I just installed. This occurred after restarting my computer. Does not seem to work very well.
update done but not recognized

Summary
Your software scan indicated that my Windows NT Workstation needed the Windows NT Invalid URL Vulnerability Patch so I downloaded and ran Q271652i.EXE When I ran the software scan again after I intalled the "patch" for Invalid URL Vulnerability the software scan still reported that I needed that patch. Apparently the software scan did not recognize that the patch was already installed. This raises the question in my mind of whether any other recommended updates are already installed but not recognized by your software scan. This is a major defect, since it very much undermines the user's confidence in using your product, and greatly reduces its effectiveness. Please advise when this defect will be corrected.
