Yay... Just what I needed today...

An out of band, emergency patch for MS Windows systems.... According to the ISC it's critical for Windows Systems prior to Vista (But still important for those ones too as there is an active exploit in the wild, and IT's Potentially WORMABLE. Just great...)

Patch early..., Patch often...

Thanks for that. I will check it out when I get home.

Also check your work computer... In MS Internet Explorer go to the site http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ run the Custom and see what updates are waiting....

I don't have Windows on that--we're a Mac office.

"we're a Mac office." My condolences... ;-)

Nothing wrong with Macs these days, since they can run both OS X and Windows operating systems and software.

I love my little Mac Book Pro, with it's 4 GIG of RAM and rapid speeds compared to my old clunky Windows Notebook.

I can understand a Mac office easily... and I was a Windows and before that a DOS user (and before that a CP/M user).

This explains so much of my fun with updating and back-ups on the work computer in the last thirty hours.

Yeah, and from the notes I've been reading there have been limited, targeted attacks going for the last week or so....
