Greetings,
Here is    part   of an Associated Press release I found in todays, Fri Dec
21 newspaper:

Microsoft's newest version of Windows, billed as the most secure ever,
contains several serious flaws that allow hackers to steal or destroy a
victim's data files across the Internet or implant rogue computer software.
The company released a free fix Thursday.

A Microsoft official acknowledge that the risk to consumers was unprecedented
because the glitches allow hackers to seize control of all Windows XP
operating system software without requiring a computer user to do anything
except connect to the Internet.

Microsoft made available on its Web Site a free fix for both home and
professional editions of  Windows XP and urged consumers to install it
immediately.
Etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.

Microsoft said a new feature of Windows XP, known as "drizzle," can
automatically download the free fix, which takes several minutes, and prompt
consumers to install it.
