I wonder how many will install worms and viruses from a CD that they got
not from Microsoft but from phishing schemes that will inevitably pop up
around it.....

In a bid to target a security hurdle rampant with dial-up Internet
users, Microsoft has rolled out a security update CD giveaway
for users of Windows XP, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows 98,
and Windows 98 Second Edition (SE).
The Windows Security Update CD will ship with all of its "critical"
patches released by the software giant through October 2003 and
free anti-virus and firewall trial software.
