This one's serious and I would recommend immediately installing the fix from the following Microsoft site. It's valid.

This patches the latest *very* serious security hole in WindoZe.


Thks for the heads-up, Steve. This may sound heretical, but Mr. Gates
comes in and checks every day at 3 Ay-Emm to make sure I'm up to date
and patches me up if not. It's not a matter of choice with XP Pro -
the first time you fire up a new machine it checks in with the Head
Office and leaves its return address. Welcome to the soon-coming-to-your-neighbourhood-user-pay-

Problem is Harry, that they're not "pushing" this fix out over their pipeline until Tuesday, which may be too late. I'd still advise going and getting it manually.
