RE: New M$ vulnerability patch for Windows

[Colin Williams <colin.williams@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Guys,

Try a piece of free software called Bigfix, goes off and checks MS's site
for updates, and lets you download them without having to search around ms's
site.

Cheers

I use windows automatic update, which for reasons I cant explain is not
always automatic.  So every week I visit the windows update site and
download all the w2k updates. So far I have not been burned by any faulty
updates.

I have a theory that if you religously apply the updates and dont open
attachments, then you cant be hacked and dont need a firewall. I hope
someone else can prove if that is wrong or not.

I know this is not directly related to the iSeries, but be aware that M$ has
released yet another security patch for windows.  As far as I know, there
are no viruses that exploit this vulnerability..... Yet. cjg
