Title: Massive security breech in Windows 2000 NT, XP, and Server 2003









There is a Windows XP vulnerability that allows hackers to execute code on
your computer without your knowledge. Broadband users are especially at
risk. The error messages you get look something like this which forces your
computer to shutdown in 30 seconds.

VERY ANNOYING! It happens at every boot up. So update now before this
hacker decides to install viruses in your computer. Or if your computer is
already infected download the patch here.

Follow the instructions on this page.

This has been stickied in GH, OS, and at least a few other forums. No need for multiple stickies. :)
