This paper is for those who have a Microsoft Windows computer attached to the Internet, and haven't installed the latest Microsoft security patches. The first section is where to get these patches and how to install them. The second is why. Many people don't think it is important enough to keep current on the latest security patches released by Microsoft, at least not important enough to actually do it. Those are two main reasons I have come across for people to not keep current on the latest MS Security patches. The first being how, and the second being expressed by 'Do I really care?' A prudent person would also have a firewall (or two) between their MS Windows computer and the Internet as well so hopefully I can convince the reader to do this as well.
