*** Use of the following info is up to you. Don't blame me if you break everything, coz if u do I'll convince you it was your fault. now, on with the show... ***
If you use windows XP and Internet Explorer 5-8 you might want to install these 2 patches issued yesterday - MS09-035 (moderate) and MS09-034 (critical). <-- lolz
MS usually release a bunch of patches/fixes on the second Tuesday of every month but this time they have been forced to bring it all forward.
Why?
Because one of the people who discovered the exploits over a year ago (dodgy active X controls built with an even dodgier part of MS's Visual Studio compiler) are giving a talk about how they work at the Black Hat hackers convention in Vegas this afternoon. <-- moar lolz
MS had a shitfit seeing as the attacks would be revealed to the entire hacking community and then the entire plonit and rolled out the patches very quickly indeed.
That is all.

- First patch fixes MS Visual Studio, Visual C++ and some versions of .NET Redistributables (the part that allows you to run programs made with those products without installing all of the product)
- Second patch (critical one) is for Internet Explorer 5, 6, 7 and 8 == the whole damn IE family <--fkn extra lolz!
That is all.
