Go and read Microsoft's Bulletin Board. They did it again

There's another bug, enabling hackers to take the full control over your PC. Except Windows ME, every Windows version is affected. It's quite the same bug, they tried to fix some days ago, but they found another three RPC/DCOM security issues.

Quote:

"A security issue has been identified that could allow an attacker to remotely compromise a computer running Microsoft® Windows® and gain complete control over it. You can help protect your computer by installing this update from Microsoft."

Ever find that patching your Windows system is a lot like playing a game of whack-a-mole?

My next computer is going to be a Mac. Though on the PC end I am growing to like Linux quite a lot.
