Security matters

Window's security flaw.
Again.
This vulnerability is, however, major. That's according to people who know much more about such matters than I do: Internet Storm Center
Believe me, those people are trustworthy.
I made some changes, yesterday.
You might want to do the same.

Mac, Linux and other OS users? It's Schadenfreude time.

Update, for those who may be interested. This is whatI did:
In Windows Start, open Run, Paste: regsvr32.exe /u shimgvw.dll Click: OK
Apply the patch: available at ISC (direct link to download the patch .exe file)
Turn on Windows Automatic Update (AU works for kosher and non-kosher versions of Windows XP).
Not changed?

The mighty fine browser Firefox 1.5.
The old but sturdy text-only email software by Eudora (circa 1994). Voilà!
