Hi All,
I don't normally do this, but this is important.  Yesterday, Microsoft released a security update for Windows (2000, XP, Vista).  I strongly recommend that you immediately visit Microsoft Update (http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/) to update your computer to resolve the vulnerability.

"Microsoft recommends that customers apply the update immediately." (From MS08-067)

This vulnerability, if exploited by a virus or attacker, would allow complete compromise of Windows 2000 and XP machines, though this is mitigated on Windows Vista (as the attacker must be authenticated (have a user account on your computer) to exploit the vulnerability)).
