      Attention SBC Yahoo! customers who use
      Windows XP Operating System 

      Dear SBC Yahoo! Member: 

      If you are using the Windows XP Operating System on any of your computers 
connected to SBC Yahoo! Dial or SBC Yahoo! DSL, this courtesy message is for 
you. Users of other operating systems are not affected. 

      In August, Microsoft Corporation will be offering Windows XP users an 
update called "Service Pack 2". You may hear about the Service Pack 2 update in 
the news, on the Internet, or by seeing prompts on your computer screen telling 
you to load a "Critical Upgrade" to Windows. 

      Service Pack 2 provides a series of security enhancements for the Windows 
XP operating system. These new updates and features may cause SBC Yahoo! and 
other software on your computer to behave differently. 

      Based on our testing, SBC has determined that some users will experience 
changes after loading Service Pack 2 when using the customized SBC Yahoo! 
Browser, Parental Controls, SBC Yahoo! Web mail, and Instant Messenger. SBC and 
Yahoo! have prepared an update for these software components that you should 
load to ensure compatibility with Service Pack 2. 

      Please copy and paste the below URL into your browser to download the 
software update. 
          http://download.yahoo.com/dl/sbcy/xpsp2fix.exe 

      In addition, if you are using a firewall on your XP computer, you will 
need to go to the firewall manufacturer's website and load any software updates 
they provide for Service Pack 2. Although we do not provide support for 
firewall software, you can find information and web-links for the major 
firewall companies at: 
        a.. Zone Alarm: http://www.zonelabs.com 
        b.. Norton Personal Firewall: http://www.symantec.com/sabu/nis/npf/ 
        c.. McAfee Personal Firewall Plus: 
http://www.secureie.com/c/002/firewall2004/firewall2004_02.asp?source=goog&keyword=firewall&;
 
      If you experience changes with other software on your computer, check the 
software manufacturer's website for information regarding Service Pack 2 
software updates. 

      Please refer to the SBC Yahoo! Help Site, http://help.sbcglobal.net/ , 
for more details on Windows XP Service Pack 2 and SBC Yahoo! software updates 
that are available for your computer. 

      If you want to know more about the Windows XP Service Pack 2 update, 
please refer to the Microsoft site at 
http://support.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sp2 or call 1.888.SP2.HELP 
(1.888.772.4357). If you need additional help with SBC Yahoo!, please refer to
