Computer Updates

On the second Tuesday of every month, Microsoft publishes security updates for Windows 2000 and XP computers. Many of you will have seen the little yellow triangle near your clock either yesterday or today. Follow the directions to download and install these important updates (you might have to restart your computer after everything finishes).

If you don't see the triangle and want to be alerted each time there is a security update, click on Start | Control Panel | Security Center. Click on "Automatic Updates," and then choose "Automatic (recommended)."

If you would rather be more in control of when to install updates (especially if you have a laptop computer, and dial-up access from home), make sure you bookmark
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
and check regularly for updates!
