As reported by Gizmodo, a newly discovered security bug leaves some Microsoft Windows PCs open to remote hijackings, meaning that someone else could take control of your computer and do as they wish with the files on it.
Exactly which Windows systems are affected? Well, it’s unfortunately a lot.
According to Microsoft, the “affected software” includes multiple builds of Windows Server (2003 and 2008), Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8/8.1 (see the full list here).
The fix: To be safe, we recommend that all PC users run the Windows Update program found inside the Windows Control Panel to make sure all available patches have been downloaded and installed. Microsoft’s support site can also offer more info and a direct download for the fix now.
