But those who think they can escape by not updating to Service Pack 1 would be sadly mistaken. That's because Microsoft has surreptitiously released an anti-hack detection update via Windows Update. Those who chose to have Windows Vista install updates automatically would have this update installed and running by now. Here's a quote from the editorial :- Quote:
