If I've just updated my virus definitions (AVG) do I still need to d/l the
MS patch?

Not to worry, looked in my add/remove programs and I'd been a good boy and
already d/l the patch.

My PC kept shuting dow and rebooting yesterday (this is what seems to
happen) and I didn't know what it was but after about the third time AVG
picked it up and asked me to run it . it then healed it when I ran the full
scan.

it would be a good idea if you haven't already. Remember the patch has been
out for some time, so *should* really already be installed.

Well I have it installed and I don't remember doing it, and I certainly
haven't installed it in the past week.

Taking a moment's reflection, Kraftee mused:

The patch was issued on (I believe) July 14, and my system shows I
installed it on July 19 from Windows Update.
