According to a story in this mornings newspaper, there is
a serious flaw in Windows that would "allow hackers to
seize control of a person's computer when victims read e-
mails or visit Web sites" -- to quote the article. You
urge users to download a patch that repairs this flaw.
When I got on my PC (with XP) I had a message that there
was an update ready to be installed on my computer, which
I then installed. Is this Update the patch that is
referred to in the article? Or do I need to download the
patch, and if so, where do I find it?

Thanks for your help.
