glad for the confirmation!

I hadn't received the notification yet, and so went looking!

I also often doublecheck to be sure that the yellow shield is 'real'.

I heard about the update on the news also. I also have my computer to get automatic updates and saw the yellow shield on my bottom tool bar by the clock. I wanted to make sure it was safe so I checked with Windows Updates.

Re: URGENT ATTENTION ALL from moderator Helen!!!

I just went to Windows Update, because I had heard that a fix would be offered. Even though I had my system set to let me know, it hadn't done so yet.

Anyway, the security update is now available for the vulnerability!!

I just downloaded and installed it!
