If you run Win2000 or WinXP, and you connect directly to the Internet via
dialup, cable or DSL ( no corporate firewall so ports 135, 139, or 445 or
any other specifically configured RPC port are accessible to the net ) a
hacker can take over your machine anytime you are online.
Visit the windows update page at Microsoft and follow the directions there
to install the patch. Do this today.
This is such a big deal that the Department of Homeland Security has issued
a warning about it.
