    Has anyone received this information from PITSTOP and if so does anyone have an opinion on it.
    It sems rather strange to have received this information from other than Microsoft.

    Critical Update for Windows Users



    Dear Valued PC Pitstop Customer:

    PC Pitstop recommends installing the latest (958644) Microsoft security patch now.

    On October 22, 2008 - Microsoft released security patches for all versions of Windows. This "out-of-cycle" patch was released in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS08-067 . It's sudden release only serves to emphasize it's importance.

    The bulletin warns of a remote code execution attack that can spread rapidly across the internet. Evidence of this RPC attack was first found two weeks ago and infects machines without any user interaction.
