Re: [APD] Re:RE: Viruses and worms

NOte all:  MS does not mail patches.  They make you go to
them at their website for updates
(http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp and
http://office.microsoft.com/officeupdate/) which you should
visit often if you don't already.

The addresses can be diff for diff versions of Win or
Office.  But you can find them rom the microsoft.com home
page.
