I don't think I have to remind folk here of the dangers involved in opening these so-called 'patches'.?

Indeed.

As a reminder, if ANYONE who reads this is using Windows,
then please go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and
ensure that you install ALL of the "Critical Updates"
offered by the site.

This site gives you all the security updates and patches
that these e-mails claim to - all from a virus-free and
centrally controlled secure location.

For those unhappy with the idea that your PC passes
personally identifiable information to Microsoft as it
runs the WindowsUpdate system, please forget about it;
it doesn't - I have thoroughly checked the activity of
the client using a packet sniffer and a very tightly
controlled firewall.

Also please ensure you have the latest version of any
of the better known AntiVirus software systems on the
market :-

McAfee VirusScan
Norton AntiVirus
Symantec AntiVirus
Panda
GriSoft AVG (free, from http://www.grisoft.com)

Keep the DAT files up to date; they're released on a
weekly basis, but emergency updates are sometimes made
available between regular updates.

Don't open any attachment unless you're expecting it,
that you know who it is from, AND that you have put
it through a virus checker.
