Marc Liron, a MVP, is not one to panic, so when he sends out a newsletter about a Security Alert and points readers to the relevant MS Update, it is serious.

Take a read and then download the update for your particular OS and SP. And Reboot your computer.

Cheers dave,

I've just installed KB958644 for XP SP3 ... looks like a nasty threat.

Have you checked to see whether it was already installed Peter? If you have automatic updates enabled it may be.

I have the same system as you and it installed on mine
