Are these updates included in WinXP SP3 and in Vista SP1?

Question

1) Windows Genuine Advantage Notification

2) GDI+ Detection Tool

And is it also true that the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool is included in WinXP Sp3 and also on Vista Sp1?

Could someone please check-it out and tell me? I'm a little hesitant on downloading these two service packs because I'm not sure whether they have these in them. Thanks!

Answer 1

Both of them are not included in Windows XP SP3, only on Vista.

To install Windows Genuine Advantage notification tool, go to http://www.microsoft.com/genuine and click on "Validate Windows" on the top right hand corner, or also validate office if you have a geuine one.

Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool is not included in Windows XP SP3, you have to download Internet Explorer 7 to get that software.  Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool is already included in Vista.
