Thanks to the carelessness of my company - despite numerous warnings from the
staff, no policy (!!) on updates so, if you didn't use Windows Update yourself,
your machine would permanently remain with its factory settings - oh no it
wasn't :(

(I wasn't affected because I run the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyser every
week and am careful in other ways, but many others were).
