Microsoft Issues Critical Patch

A critical flaw in basic Windows infrastructure was discovered about 6 months ago. This flaw can allow hackers to steal files, delete data, or eavesdrop on computers. Microsoft has created a patch that eliminates the flaw and thus protects the computer from the possible intrusion due to the flaw. This flaw is considered one of the most serious discovered to date. Microsoft has rated the patch as Critical, its highest level of importance.

Now the fun begins as hackers try to find the flaw and exploit it before machines have the patch installed. All Windows computers are affected including servers and workstations. Even the Department of Homeland Security is warning computers users to install this patch.

The patch can be found on the Windows Update Service. Clients can call us for more information or to schedule us to install the patch. We have created a CD with the patch for users that do not have a high speed Internet connection.
