I wasn't panicking, George.  The things a user would have to do to allow a 
hacker/virus in were pretty unusual.  The chances of someone doing these things 
at the same time as a virus was present would be really slim.  It's good that 
Microsoft have plugged it, though... just for the peace of mind.

  Hi Barry,
  Before we all go into panic mode, Microsoft have
  plugged the holes with a patch that is applied
  after SP2 is installed.

  I have just read a BBC article on some obscure
  holes in the new Windows SP 2 that some might find
  interesting.
