"Microsoft said it is taking appropriate action to protect its customers, which may include issuing a security patch, either through its monthly security update release process or as a one-off update.

However, people still using Windows XP will not benefit from a security patch, as Microsoft stopped supporting the 13-year-old operating system earlier this month."

Is it a ploy to get people to move away from XP?

No it's a ploy to get people to move away to Apple ... own goal alert -):

They say 77% of business still use XP including the NHS...... there's going to be trouble ahead.....

(Reuters) - Microsoft is helping the estimated hundreds of millions of customers still running Windows XP, which it stopped supporting earlier this month, by providing an emergency update to fix a critical bug in its Internet Explorer browser.

Microsoft Corp rushed to create the fix after learning of the bug in the operating system over the weekend when cybersecurity firm FireEye Inc warned that a sophisticated group of hackers had exploited the bug to launch attacks in a campaign dubbed “Operation Clandestine Fox.”

It was the first high-profile threat to emerge after Microsoft stopped providing support to its 13-year-old XP operating software on April 8.

Microsoft on Wednesday initially said it would not provide the remedy to Windows XP users because it had stopped supporting the product. But on Thursday, as Microsoft started releasing the fix for the bug through its automated Windows Update system, a company spokeswoman said the remedy also would be pushed out to XP customers.

“We decided to fix it, fix it fast, and fix it for all our customers," spokeswoman Adrienne Hall said on Microsoft's official blog.

Does anyone know of an easy way to record a player from IPlayer for posterity.

Replay Media Player looks good - but costs!

My grandson might be able to answer that one Skinny but he has just told me that he has too much homework to get involved! These Primary School kids these day eh?! Seriously though, I worry about how much they know and I don't. My Primary School day worries were which inkwell needed filling and was there enough chalk for the board!

Slightly off topic, more out of interest and curiosity, I bought a 2nd generation iPod Touch to take to New York in 2009; used it to confirm airline tickets and book fast track through airports, surf the net etc. I have used it constantly since despite having all the latest updated gizmos and until fairly recently have had to charge it every day, sometimes more than once or even twice. A few months ago it changed it's charging needs and now it holds it's charge not just for days but weeks. The last time I charged it was on the 18th April, it still has 25% charge left. Has anyone else experienced this?

I am getting messages (not opened) from Santander via email.

Somewhat strange, as I don't have an account with Santander.

Any ideas?

Forward them to the email address shown here under suspicious emails

I have had the same, though I used to have an account with Alliance & Leicester/ Santander and just assumed that their marketing database was lagging reality.

Only Santander?

:-)

I've probably got some Wells Fargo, Lloyds, Barclays, UPS, HMRC and IRS emails laying around if anybody wants them. I can also arrange for HP Documents to be scanned, Outlook Voicemails to be left and Corporate Fax messages to be sent, and I'm sure I can find a few unpaid invoices if anybody wants to pay them for me. Invariably, these things come with a rather nasty ZIP attachment. Nuff said.

Oh, and I nearly forgot to mention my stash of Pfizer drugs, Viagra and Cialis, plus the free membership I've got to Ruby Palace Casino. And, if you're looking for penis enlargement, Doc, there's a man in Russia who, I am reliably informed, is yer man. :o)

No thanks, Hils.

I'm actually happy with my 'dicky doo dah' as it is. But may I thank you very kindly for wondering about it. :-)

A question for you html boy & girls. I use charts from mam for reference purposes, I use notebook in windows xp for the job. All works fine but would like to add notes below the chart. I can type my note below the chart entry in notebook but when viewed as web page it gets squeezed to the side between the next chart instead of below the chart I want it to belong to. There must be a bit of code to add to my written note to make a gap between two charts to allow my notes to stay where I want it. Hope you can make sense of this, cheers BB.

< br > IS THE CLUE ( meaning next line )
