In the past few weeks, Microsoft has begun rolling out Service Pack 3 during automatic updates. You may have noticed this, as it takes a lot longer than the typical updates that are installed. You may be tempted to cancel and put it off, however, this is an important one to install.
SP3 contains over 1000 individual fixes and security patches for Windows. Simply put, it is years worth of fixes all put together in one package. So, it's important to get this one. If automatic update doesn't get it for you, you can always go to Windows Update (on your programs menu) and choose to install it that way.
We consider this to be such an important update that before we install or rebuild any computers with XP, we are installing SP3 here in our shop.
And, if you don't already have automatic updates installed, please do so. Having an unpatched operating system is one of the best ways to fall victim to hackers, malware and other online threats.
