Hi folks...
There's been a lot of talk lately about a major Internet Hacker attack that
may be on the horizon. Great...not only do we have to worry about
terrorists, but also hackers!
Anyway, I just wanted to make sure all my friends are aware of this, so that
you can update your system with a patch that should help prevent you from
getting hit with this impending attack.
Below is an MSNBC article on the problem, along with a link to the Windows
patch. Also, if you are running Windows XP (home or pro versions), you can
click Start/Help and Support, type WINDOWS UPDATE into the search and learn
how you can login as administrator and the Windows Update feature can run a
scan to let you know of any/all updates you might need...then automatically
download and update your system.

Good luck, folks! Be sure to update your systems and feel free to email me
if you need any help.
