Default NvCplService Pack 6??

In System Configuration UtilityStartup, there is an item called NvCpl. I
learned that this is a worm and that I need to address it immediately.

I was directed to the following article:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../ms04-011.mspx

In the article it states that SRP needs to be downloaded if I have Service
Pack 6. This is related to Windows NT Server 4.0.

I don't want to download anything until I know if I need it. I'm very
confused.

I don't know if I have Service Pack 6.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you,
Michael

NvCpl may act like a worm, if you have an Nvidia graphics card...

NvCpl.dll = NVIDIA Display Properties Extension

NvCplDaemon
System Tray icon used to change display settings, change the clock rate and
memory speed for nVidia based graphics cards. This is unnecessary since you
can easily configure these settings the way you want them in the Display
Properties and not have to mess with them again. Also disable the "NVIDIA
Driver Helper Service" if enabled as it can cause this entry to be
re-enabled on re-boot (note that this service can also cause extreme
shutdown delays if enabled
