Subject: URGENT Microsoft patches



   *** URGENT ***

IfA Windows PC (including SunPCI card) users,

Several Microsoft security problems,
one of which could allow hackers to 
get full control of your Windows PC
simply by sending you email, have been
discovered.  ALL versions of Windows
may be vulnerable.

It is ESSENTIAL that you patch your 
Windows PCs (including SunPCI card PCs) 
IMMEDIATELY, as follows:

1.  Go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
2.  Click on "Product Updates".  
3.  Install everything from the section titled 
      "Critical Updates and Security Packs".
      These may need to be installed one at a time,
      with reboots in between.  Therefore, this may 
      require several reboots.  After each reboot,
      you should re-visit 

        http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

      and repeat the above steps (2,3) till you've
      installed everything from the section titled
      "Critical Updates and Security Packs".

Please do this immediately.
