Everyone install this patch ASAP http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms06-040.mspx

There are also others to be installed on Windows Update but this one is by far the most important!

Thanks for the warning I don’t normally bother with updates (which is know is really stupid but never mind) but this one looks serious.

Will Automatic updates install this for me? Or should I manually install it to every PC in the house? Thanks.

Cheers for the headsup, NathanE.

Just sent this around over MSN too

Craig321 · 12 Aug 2006 at 02:55

I'm guessing this was included in the recent big security update?
