By now I'm sure most of the techs out there will have heard about the latest out-of-band patch from MS to fix up the critical hole found in the filesharing component of all supported versions of Windows. If you'd like to find out more, there's a fantastic piece of coverage (of the technical side) over at http://blogs.msdn.com/sdl/archive/2008/10/22/ms08-067.aspx.

For all our Doghouse customers, remember to install your Windows updates! The little yellow icon in the tool tray, in the right hand bottom corner of your screen? Whenever that pops up, make sure you click on it and follow the prompts - it's the easiest and safest way to keep your machine protected from all the Internet nasties out there.
