Windows XP patch

Windows XP patch

This is looking like a pretty serious security issue, and everyone is recommending to get it patched immediately. According to the bulletin, you are vulnerable if you are:

Customers using Microsoft® Windows® ME or XP, or who have installed the Windows XP Internet Connection Sharing client on Windows 98 or 98SE.

Grab that patch! I guess XP isn’t really quite the secure,safe, reliable OS that it was cracked up to be.

While you’re over there, I’m hearing good things about Service Pack 1 for Office XP. I’m not using Office XP so I can’t say anything about it really. Although now that SP1 is out, it’s about time to start looking at it. I usually wait until SP1 on most big software. (not just MS) Let somebody else’s users be guinea pigs, the users here don’t like me enough as it is! *L*

  • Upgrading

    Upgraded the Movable Type and PhpBB installs over on the other site last night. That should help with comment spam and the security problem with PhpBB. Both went off pretty easily. I’d highly recommend them! Follow these topics: Uncategorized
