Today is Microsoft Patch Tuesday

Wiz Feinberg · From: Mid-Michigan, USA

Three critical patches and an updated maliscious software removal tool are being released today, via Windows Updates. If you have turned on Automatic Updates they will be pushed to you sometime today. These updates will require you to reboot your computers to complete the updates.

If you have a validly licensed and activated copy of Windows XP you can obtain these patches manually by running Internet Explorer > Tools > Windows Updates.
