The message you are receiving is probably some sales pitch
(who knows?); however, your computer is at risk, even with
the latest updates.

To get the latest updates for your computer go to:

http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/

and select the "Product Updates" selection.

Microsoft will check your computer for the updates it
needs and you can then download them.

Make sure you gety the lates version of windows
uninstaller as your first download, and then install it.
Then put in the rest of your updates - it might take a
while, but there are all kinds of security holes in these
products, and there will still be security holes when you
are finished with all MS updates.

So Don't forget: the internet is not fully secure; and
neither are MS Products!

Back up - back up - back up tose files...
