*ALERT* New MS patch, Prevent another "MSBlast"

[Falls Included]

Well, MS has done it again, but im warning all of you now, to update, and save yourself some trouble. i remember the MS blast incident, and it was not pretty.

The culprit this time: MS's implementation of a networking protocol called as Abstract Syntax Notation One, or ASN.1

go here for the full story, and go to windows update.
