Actually this security alert is different. There was a CERT advisory for it,
too, because there was an active exploit out there in hacker-land before
Microsoft had a fix -- hence the urgency. It had not yet reached the
"automatic update" point -- though that info is now out of date as Microsoft
has released a patch outside their normal monthly cycle.
