How Does this Affect Me?
Microsoft periodically releases software updates to "patch holes" (vulnerabil-
ities) and incorporate other fixes and updates. Although you can manually
initiate an update check (http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/
default.asp), automatically checking for updates ensures a higher level of
security. Updates can be service packs or hotfixes.
