While these efforts may be well-meaning, please do not post a security file or
patch as an attachment. If you must post such off-topic notices, just give the
URL to the Microsoft site, as MS does. Anything else is unsafe and users should
not touch the files.

There are just too many email viruses and worms floating around for anyone to
touch any "patch" found in a public newsgroup.

Important: Patch Windows *beyond* Blaster.
