For customers who have already applied the update and are experiencing the problem related to the older Hewlett Packard Share-to-Web software, or older NVIDIA drivers prior to or including version 61.94, the revised update will be available through Windows Update and Microsoft Update. The targeted re-release will be automatically delivered to affected computers through Automatic Update if it has been enabled The re-release will not be distributed to non-affected computers.

Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) 2.0 will also determine if one of the identified third-party COM controls has been installed and will offer the revised security update.
