OT: Windows XP Security Hole

[Kevin J. Hart]

Yea I know way off topic and not suprising.  But I figure its big enough
that some people would like to know and some would never even know about
till its too late.

As mentioned earlier in the show, Microsoft released a service pack for
Windows XP. It fixes a serious security hole that Microsoft has known about
for more than 11 weeks.
The security hole involves Windows XP help. The hole lets anyone put a link
on a website that can wipe out certain hard-drive directories.
If, for whatever reason, you don't or can't download the service pack, there
is an alternative. There's a file you can rename or delete to fix the
security hole. Here are the steps:
Perform a search for a file on your C drive called "uplddrvinfo.htm."
Once you've found the file, delete it or rename it. Doing so will not hinder
your ability to use Windows XP.
