Installed a couple of new ones only 2 days ago! 1 was a security patch, the other a malware removal tool..

Its an effing nuisance. I have just loaded the latest patches. Still not as secure as Linux. I hope that none of you still have administrator rights for your everyday work!

Changed your password recently? Course you have.

Hi BRL,

Right click the My Computer icon on the desktop, click on Properties and on the General tab, it will (should..) tell you.

Cheers
