You will always hear about them first at our site at
InfiniSource.com or
HelpWithWindows.com (formerly Windows-Help.NET)

There were several important Windows updates in October - here's one:

MS07-058: Vulnerabilities in RPC could allow denial of service

       Date last published: October 17, 2007

  free tips and tricks from HelpWithWindows.com (formerly Windows-Help.NET) with hundreds of troubleshooting pages for all versions of Windows Windows Tips and Tricks

You'll find hundreds of useful tips and tricks for every version of Windows at our own www.HelpWithWindows.com (formerly Windows-Help.NET).

Because we operate a Windows help site and help forums and we sell software to enhance the Windows platform, we are in a prime position to hear about many of the problems reported by average Windows users out there around the world. Many people are looking to improve the reliability, speed and effectiveness of their Windows machines... and that's where we can help.

Here's a handy tip for XP Users.

Prevent Writing to USB Storage Devices
Many people have had some sleepless nights over this: it is too easy for users to connect a device (USB-key or MP3 player) to the USB port of a computer, and copy things off the system. This is an obvious security risk. This has been addressed in Service Pack 2 for Windows XP. You have to manually add one certain registry key

  Well, we could go on and on here... But why not stop by our website where you'll find links to all this and a whole lot more, absolutely free, from www.InfiniSource.com, "The Internet's Premier Resource Center."
