I got a notification that Toshiba Service Station needs an update to patch a 
vulnerability.  Of course, this notification came from the very Service 
Station that has the vulnerability.  So......can anyone please confirm that 
this is a legitimate patch rather than the vulnerability being exploited? 
I've inserted a screen capture at http://oi63.tinypic.com/16jwpj.jpg. 
Thanks.

I let this install on Friday. No apparent problems but of course if it is a 
trojan I won't know until it is too late. You might feel safer getting it 
from here

but then again I may be giving you a link to a spoofed Toshiba web site.
