Major Security Vulnerability For Windows Users

"Make sure you've got this patch: Microsoft issued on Tuesday a fix for a major vulnerability in its server service, used for file and print sharing. Since then, security companies and even the Department of Homeland Security are raising alarms about the risk of a widespread worm attack.

According to Microsoft's bulletin, the hole makes Windows XP (including SP2), Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 vulnerable to a remote attack that can take over your computer. The server service is on by default, so most every unpatched Windows PC is potentially vulnerable."


Yes this is late, but most of you have Windows to automatically get updates. I figured I'd post this anyway for those who don't know. Get the patch here or check and make sure you received the update by opening Internet Explorer and clicking on Tools>Microsoft Update.
