***************************************************
* The Bottom Line...
***************************************************
The Zero-Day Vulnerability discovered this past week
is a serious vulnerability that installs spyware on your system
without your knowledge by clicking a link in an email or by
being unlucky enough to surf to one of the many web sites
that will infect your computer.

The short story is that some hackers discovered a hole
in Windows that allows them to execute whatever they want
on your computer. It is not caught by your antivirus software
and if you are not using a top notch antiSpyware product
you end up infected. Once infected, one of the payloads of
this malware is a keylogger that allows the bad guys to
see everything you type, hoping to capture your financial
accounts and passwords or other sensitive data.

***************************************************
* What You Should Do
***************************************************
Get the new bug fix Microsoft just released.
Consider upgrading your antiSpyware software.

1 Visit the Windows Update site as soon as possible to get
this new bug fix for Windows. Windows Update lists the
update as Security Update for Windows (KB925486).

2. Do NOT "give up" on antivirus or antispyware software, and
    do NOT let your subscriptions expire. If you do, you will be
    on your way to some PC rebuild/repair costs in a hurry.
    If you do not have antiSpyware software yet and would like
    the #1 VACM rated product, click here to get a trial copy of
    today's #1AntiSpyware Software. VACM recommends
    CounterSpy not only because it protects against the
    largest number of spywares, but also because it works
    automatically, very much like your antivirus software works.

3. For future Windows and IE bug fixes, when Windows says
     "there are updates for your computer",
     always allow them to be installed as soon as you can.

4. Don't rely on the Windows Firewall...
    Get a top rated Firewall product (STRONGLY recommended
    to further protect against spywares and viruses). Our VACM
    testing and research is the reason why ZoneAlarm Pro is installed
    on our PCs (and our clients' PCs). You can get your copy of
    the #1 ZoneAlarm firewall by clicking here.

******** APPENDIX - Handy How-To Tips **********

* How To Boot into Safe Mode

Shut the computer down so that the power is off.

Turn the computer on, wait 1 second and begin pressing the F8 key
on the keyboard, once every second repeatedly. Do this until
the Windows Startup Menu appears. If you get a keyboard
error, press F1 to resume and then continue pressing the
F8 key once every second, or your PC may tell you to press another key for BIOS setup.

Select Safe Mode from the Windows Startup Menu, then press
the Enter key on the keyboard.

Windows will then boot into Safe Mode.
NOTE: This may take longer than a normal boot.

At the end of the boot process a dialog box will appear
informing you that Windows is in Safe Mode. Click OK on this dialog box.

Windows is now in Safe Mode.

If you miss hitting the F8 at the right time, Windows will boot
normally and you will not see the "Safe Mode" message. In this
case, start from the top of these instructions until you get the
boot menu screen where you can choose "Safe Mode". This can be
a little tricky the first time you do it.
