Hi tights

No this is not a virus. It is needed because Microsoft in their infinite wisdom decided not to back-port some critical (for media playback) fixes to Windows XP. Hopefully that answers your question about why there is no Windows update KB for this. If you're using an illegal version of Windows as you seem to indicate in one of your other posts then expect problems. Do the right thing and buy a legitimate version of Windows.
