-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Microsoft have issued a new critical security bulletin which highlights a vulnerability in many versions of their Windows software. Details, along with a patch to address the issue can be found at: http://www.microsoft.com/security/security_bulletins/ms03-039.asp This vulnerability is very similar to that exploited by the recent MSBlaster worm and it is believed that an exploit for this new vulnerability is already 'in the wild'. We strongly recommend that all customers running Microsoft Windows should, as soon as possible, read the above Microsoft Security Bulletin, and if a patch is required, download and install it without delay. We also advise customers to keep their systems and anti-virus measures up to date on a regular basis. Malcolm Muir Demon Internet - -- Malcolm S. Muir Demon Internet Ltd.
