Juan, A reboot is REQUIRED only IF you want the system to be protected. IF you install the patch and do not reboot the system, the patch will NOT protect you. Sincerely,

If I used the /norestart switch to ran it from the command line I do get the patch under add and remove programs. Also the version of the file gets updated under c:\winnt\ssystem32.
