Dumb question of the day: I did a Searchlight look for Xprotect.plist 
and could not find it. Where do I look to see whether I have this 
update? Running OS X 10.6.7

Duh!

Software Update/Installed Software. The security update is there but is 
Xprotect.plist a file that is only installed as needed?

It is updated by a launch daemon, though you can disable that in a new 
setting in the Security preference pane.

The file is 
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/XProtect.plist. 
Spotlight is configured to not search under the /System directory.

You have to right-click on CoreTypes.bundle and choose "Show Package 
Contents", then open Contents/Resources.

You can open plists in tools like TextWrangler.
