was very difficult to find and download a patch from microsoft's site,

IMO Shavlik's free version of hfnetchk [1] does a pretty good job on
pointing out what patches are missing on your system. It shows the
numbers of the MS bulletins and corresponding KB-articles. After running
hfnetchk just search for the Q-numbers on [2].
