MICROSOFT ISSUES 4 PATCHES

Microsoft has issued four new security updates to its
Windows operating system. The patches address several
different security holes in Windows XP, NT and Server
software. The world's largest software maker warned on
Tuesday that three of the flaws are rated "critical" and
could allow hackers to sneak into personal computers and
snoop on sensitive data. 

Even Windows 98 users are encouraged to check the updates
because they may need them. A summary of the patches and
links to each patch can be found at Microsoft.com:
