Microsoft has released several new patches rated critical. I would suggest that those of you without the automatic install option set go to Windows Update to get the latest round.
On my Win XP SP1 workstation there were 6 critical patches...each of which seemed to indicate a threat that someone could take over my system.

I downloaded an update to SP2 this morning. All is okay at the moment...
