Where on earth are these Microsoft patches?

Particularly, the patch to Windows Media Player? In addition to that missing patch, the article discusses 5 other missing patches to serious problem vulnerabilities - yet, another reason to switch to using Firefox 3.0 as your normal browser, and only use IE for getting patches on patch Tuesday every month!

First you'll have to get on the web and then open Media Player. The type of patches that you get depends upon the system that you're using.

I got my new Dell with XP Pro and got all the updates but then got Belarc Advisor that said I was missing 4 of the hotfixes so ran Windows update again but there was not any other updates.
Then I installed Microsoft Update and did a scan and there was my 4 updates Belarc Advisor said were missing.
