Update your Windows PCs

If you’re using a Windows PC, there is a critical security patch that you shouldn’t wait to install. If you have automatic updates turned on, the patch will eventually install, but you shouldn’t wait for that to happen.

If you’re using Windows XP, start Internet Explorer and under the Tools menu there is a Windows Update option. Follow the instructions and install the patch. It will require a restart of the operating system.

If you’re using Vista, open Control Panel, select Check for Updates, and then on the left column, click the Check for Updates to make sure you are getting the latest information. Follow the instructions.

The technical data is available at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS08-067.mspx
