Glad to hear that. Now I can let those attending my presentations who are still using Windows XP know how to stay a little more secure.

I'm beside my xp right now and it has now started to Automatically download updates as I type. :)

Total of 10 updates, interestingly a few I've never seen before but to  be expected.

Several Security Updates for WEPOS and POSReady 2009

Edit: Addition info.
