That fix found on grc.com is said by the same web page to be only an interim fix until the Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) becomes available from Microsoft. The XP SP1 is now available, and I would recommend updating one's XP with that rather than install the temporary non-Microsoft fix. See http://www.microsoft.com/windows/default.mspx for more info and the XP SP1 download I recommend that everyone with Windows XP go to Microsoft's update site and do the (free) updates recommended by that site.
