There's ANOTHER big batch of Microsoft patches as of last night. So if you patched for the Blaster stuff last week, guess what, you're behind again. >.<

I hate Microsoft...

ANyway, go to windowsupdate.microsoft.com and do like it says.

And if you want to run auto-updates from an on-campus location (so that you can't fall victim to what's been happening lately with people getting their systems infected while en route to the Microsoft server), check out www.cites.uiuc.edu/sus/ -- it claims to be only for system administrators, but if you're your own system administrator (like most people are), that means you. You probably won't get official support from them because we don't have enough people to do that, but then you wouldn't get to talk to a real person at Microsoft either, and it's a lot shorter transit from your machine to the SUS server than from your machine to Microsoft...

Public service announcement from your harried neighborhood security-systems tech writer...
