Guest Guest Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Hi all, Microsoft on Wednesday warned computer users about a new critical security hole in its Windows operating system that could allow an attacker to gain control over a computer, delete data and install unwanted programs. The operating systems affected by the latest security vulnerabilities are Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. Older versions of Windows, including Windows Millennium, Windows 98 and Windows 95, are not affected. The vulnerability is similar to one that Microsoft warned about in July, which experts called one of the worst to hit a software program in years because of the broad number of Windows systems affected.

Guest Guest Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Hi Caveman! Thanks for the warnings! My OS is Windows 98 but, I copied and emailed your post to people that I know or suspect might be running those systems. This information is so important, thank you for taking the time to post it.
