To all CC & GTCC collectors
This happened to me earlier this week and what a nightmare. Please if you are using Windows XP or earlier types with plug & play read the following info carefully. This is a world wide problem..... Brian
Urgent security bulletin
Critical security flaws in several Microsoft Windows operating systems, particularly the new Windows XP operating system, make it possible for a hacker to exploit a buffer overflow to obtain system level access and effectively gain complete control of vulnerable computers remotely. According to Microsoft, this presents an "unprecedented" risk to consumers.
Affected systems include:
PCs running any default configuration of Microsoft Windows XP
PCs running Microsoft Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition or Windows Millennium Edition with the Universal Plug and Play Service installed and running
All customers running default Windows XP systems -- or Windows 98, 98SE or ME with the Universal Plug and Play Service installed -- are strongly urged to immediately patch their systems. Failure to do so will leave your system at extreme risk.
