The following security web page is fine.....now tell me
how to download the said patch without bending over and
letting Microsoft probe my ass (or computer in this case).
What I have on my computer IS NONE OF MICROSOFT'S GOD DAMN
BUSINESS!
Tell me where to download the said patch please!
I do have a computer that has limited access to the
internet through a real slow dial up and don't want to tie
up my phone for six days.
Thanks
