As always please make sure that you run Windows update either by going to the Microsoft Update site (http://www.update.microsoft.com (http://www NULL.update NULL.microsoft NULL.com)) or if you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7 from the start menu go to Control Panel –> Windows update –> Check for new updates.
Remember fixing security holes in your operating system, is like fixing a broken window in your home. You can lock your house door all you like, but if you don’t fix the window, bad guys will have an easy time getting into your home.
