Patch Windows today!
Go to the Start menu, choose "Windows Update", follow instructions. If nothing happens, it's probably because your computer updated itself automatically, so don't worry.
Microsoft has more than one fix in this batch that you need to install right away. There are serious security problems that bad guys are already using to take over people's computers. This patch batch fixes them.
UPDATE 4/11:
Looks like Microsoft has changed some things. I had to turn off Zone Alarm to get update to work, and that's never happened before. Also, if it gets stuck where it says it's scanning your machine but never does anything else, try editing the address bar in Internet Explorer to say "http://update.microsoft.com" instead of "http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com". Keep trying: these patches are important and worth the hassle.
