Microsoft Windows Security Patch

[Jeff Rodier]

Microsoft has just released this update to patch a security hole in all versions of Windows.

This hole is accessed by viewing picture images on the internet and in e-mail.

Apply the patch before viewing any image that has traveled through the internet.

Only takes 2 minutes for dial up and seconds with broadband.

I'd like to echo the importance of applying that patch. It's sure to be heavily exploited.

Even better, go to Windows Update, so you can make sure other recent patches appropriate for your version are installed.

Thanks for reminding us, Jeff!

Can you put this back on top

It might be a good idea to turn on Automatic Updates in Windows.

This way no one will miss a really critical update like this one.

The picture below shows how to do it, from the Control panel in Windows:
