For Windows XP users

[thedrifter]

For those who are using Windows XP you might take a look at this site and think about downloading and running this program. The download is very small and is totally safe. Saves on downloading and installing the Microsoft Service Pace 1 which can create havoc with some machines and configurations.

Quickly and easily replace the dangerous Windows XP file
that facilitates malicious deletion of entire file directories.

~ UPDATE ~

As feared and expected, just five days after the release of Service Pack 1, and the publication of this vulnerability's details by irresponsible web journalists, instances of malicious URLs for deleting all files from user directories started appearing on the Internet.

PLEASE be sure to inform your friends and associates who are using XP about the need to either update to Service Pack 1, or quickly run XPdite on their systems.

Sempers,
