Even if your version is not the absolute latest, if you have renewed
your subscription and kept your virus definitions updated, you will be
fine. If you *haven't* done this, of course you are at risk. Just go
into the Security Center applet in Control Panel and click on "Change
the way Security Center alerts me". Uncheck the alerts for antivirus
protection.
