Microsoft Security Bulletins

["Walsh, Brian R. (Information Services)" <brwal () CONNCOLL EDU>]

Microsoft has just sent out two "Security Bulletin Summaries". One for Exchange Server and one for Windows (although 
they messed up the subject on the second one). They also included a link in both messages that doesn't work. Otherwise 
these messages look legit. It looks like this is one of the ways they are trying to be more responsive to newly 
identified security vulnerabilities. 

The Windows updates are being handled here by Software Update Server but we are struggling with how to communicate the 
importance of installing critical updates to students. How are you dealing with this?

I also noticed that MS now has a free support line for security patches 1-866-PCSAFETY. Has anyone used this? Is this 
somethging we should pass along to students?
