In a rare alert, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has urged Windows users to plug a potential worm hole in the Microsoft operating system.

The agency, which also runs the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT), sent out a news release on Wednesday recommending that people apply Microsoft's MS06-040 patch as quickly as possible. The software maker released the "critical" fix Tuesday as part of its monthly patch cycle.

Seriously though, thanks for the heads-up Safari.

Honestly.
Why bother? No wonder people get snarly about WIndows, you'd spend your entire time patching it one by one by one by one by.....until you die of boredom.

Its like trying to make a bucket out of a sieve by sticking bits of tape over each hole.

I have the basic security - a firewall, AV and AS. And have never had a security breach or virus or anything. And I get to spend my time doing other fun stuff with my PC.............
