I've just been reading about the mebroot virus - which specialises in stealing bank login details - on the BBC website.
I have Windows XP and apparently it is vulnerable if it is not fully patched. A year or so ago, Microsoft detected that, unknown to me, my copy of Windows XP was not a genuine original. Since then only essential updates are downloaded.
Would patches count as essential and can someone explain, in very simple terms, how I can check that I am "fully patched" please?
