Thank you Michael in Tennessee for being our guest throughout the program! We really appreciate it.
Welcome to the Security Box, podcast 48. On this edition of the podcast, we've got two topics for you. The first is probably one you can file in the "I can't believe I read this crap" department, while the second deals with Windows Update and what we had to look forward to there. We've got news notes with quite a number of very interesting items, as well as taking your calls, voice messages and stories to boot.
