    Just a reminder that we’re at MS-DEFCON 2, with a bunch of Automatic Update patches coming shortly.

    To repeat my earlier advice: Check to make sure all of your machines, and all of your friends’, neighbors’, and relatives’ machines, to make sure that Automatic Update is set to Notify. Here’s how:

    1. Log on to your PC with an administrator account. If you don’t know what an administrator account is, don’t worry about – chances are very good that you have an administrator account already, so just get Windows going.

    2. Click Start | Control Panel | Security Center.

    3. At the very bottom of the screen, click Automatic Updates. (Don’t click around Automatic Updates at the top. Microsoft has it rigged so if you click in the wrong place, you’ll turn on Automatic Update.)

    4. Click the button marked Notify Me but Don’t Automatically Download or Install Them.

    5. Click OK. then “X” out of the Security Center, and “X” out of the Control Panel.
