All About Vista
This week our show focused heavily on the the latest Vista service pack update. The update was originally scheduled to be pushed via automatic update on June 30, however Microsoft has been making it available on Windows Update now.

The latest virus hitting the internet is called Gumblar. This virus attacks websites you trust and infects your computer.
