Heads up!

Okay, according to this article on AustraliaIT, nine days after it was announced, there’s an exploit to take advantage of a nasty Windows vulnerability. This is a baddie, folks. It can take over computers in a hurry. So far, there haven’t been any reports of the program being used, but it’s out there. So what are you waiting for? Go patch it!!
