November 10th, 2005

On November 8th, 2005 Microsoft released new patches for critical Windows security vulnerabilities.

*** All Windows PCs must be patched. ***

To patch your PC:

Click on the update icon on the taskbar (it is a globe or yellow shield with an exclamation point, depending on which version of Windows you're running).

If you do not have such an icon, run Windows Update by going to the site: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

After patching, you must reboot your PC in order for the patches to take effect.

Please contact help@cs.cmu.edu if there are questions or problems with applying these patches.

Thank you for your attention,
