Happy patch day!
Microsoft released their monthly patches. You need to get them soon. Every operating system after Windows 98 or ME is affected, and the bugs include some that would allow someone to take over your computer.
They've fixed the remote desktop problem which there were rumors about last month. They've also fixed several more bugs in Internet Explorer, one of which Microsoft says is "critical" and for which you should download the patch "immediately".
I've lost track of whether there are still outstanding known security holes in IE.
As usual, go to the Start menu, choose Windows Update and follow the directions.
