Today I'm making a suggestion that should be on everyone's New Years resolutions list.
Turn on automatic updates for Windows. You should also turn on any updating feature included in other software you run on your computer.
This is the most important step you can take in protecting your computers security and health.

The Rudd government is planing to commence trials for a new internet filter before Christmas. The motivation behind this filter is to protect the Australian public from dangers on the internet.
If the filter goes ahead it will be compulsory to have this filter running on your internet connection. With a opt-out policy on a second child safety filter.
Even the best-case scenarios for this filter offer a grim outcome. Initial results for the governments own studies result in a much slower internet connection, 10,000 websites out of 1 million will be incorrectly blocked.
This program will make internet filtering the Chinese people have seem like a 'walk in the park'.
Do something about it here:

At 6.30am this morning I noticed problems with a automatic Microsoft server update.
I am working on a fix currently. The first symptom will be the lack of an internet connection. You may also not be able to get files from your server. Please contact me if your network is showing these symptoms.
As far as I'm aware this only affects business' running SBS Server 2003.
