Just to let you know, I got the auto-update five mins ago, and there are 2 new updates/patches for Windows XP and Windows Servers 2000-2003.

All of our systems are patched. use your windows autoupdate or click here to see if your system needs the patch:

Thanx Z, now I just have to tell my dad.

OK.. I want to update, but the computer recommends (or rather say I need) to make a backup of all my files. Since I don't know if that's completely necessary I'm asking you guys..

Ignore that, just do the update.

Yeah MS are just covering their asses for the 0.1% chance that something does go wrong.

Man I'm getting so SICK of these viruses! Battling the blaster worm last week at work for 6 hours (cause it was dial up!) and buying software out the ying yang, was enough! Now we have had the telephone lines cut off at work for two days cause some construction people cut into the lines, so the PC at work is unable to update! Man I hope I can snag it without any problems when we do get back online. Grrrr...

Um, no. They are trying to PREVENT assholes that like to make virii..

Z man i think Vas was just referring to the thing about MS saying that you should back up your files before downloading the update... hehehe [img]smile.gif[/img]

well well... i am glad that my PC didn't get those... good thing i wasn't online the time it broke out...

Automatic update got them for me. [img]smile.gif[/img] Wow, that download had one useful purpose after all. :D
