How come when I go on windows update thi shasnt come up?
does it mean its already been installed on my PC?

Sorry if this is a dum question

When the patch is ready for download, Windows Update will have it.

The MS04-028 patch is currently being tested in the US and should be avilable shortly.

There are "proof of concepts" available, but as yet there are no virus or trojans taking advantage of the vulnerability, but it is only a matter of time.

Bascially, stick to the golden rules. If you do not know the person who has mailed you; don't open it. If you are sent a browser link you didn't ask for; don't follow it...
