Making sure Windows machines are up to date
As you’re no doubt aware, a malware worm has been infecting Windows machines around the internet. If you run your own Windows machine (even if it’s a VM), you really need to ensure it’s current on its patch level to prevent it from infecting and spreading.

If your machine is not self-managed, we’re making sure the right patches are applied.
You’ll want to patch any personal machines as well.
Thanks.
