this is the security patch for xp. i know a lot of us are still using xp with our machines. i have installed it on my office email pc.
no guarantees its going to do what its supposed to do- but its better than being totally defenceless

Brendon,

Can you tell a bit more about what this patch is doing?
Are there any info about this on a Windows website? Maybe you can post a link?

Brendon,

OK, I just thought you maybe have a Microsoft page link or something where it is explained. Was curious to see. :)

I must say that it is interesting and very professional of Microsoft to take care of those who still use XP. Even if they don't care to carry on with the product, it is nice that they provide some support.
