Microsoft has posted their Feb '05 security updates as promised. A grand total of 11 patches, all but 2 don't affect Windows XP and 3 if you don't have .NET Framework installed. Also we see the first signs that SP2 is already feeling its age, because even if you have SP2 installed you still need to apply these patches. Windows XP SP2 is affected unlike the earlier bulletins that more often than not showed that SP2 was more secure than anything before it.

The security updates for February 2005 include several high-priority updates for Microsoft Windows that also affect Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and Microsoft Media Player technologies. If you have any of the software listed on this page installed on your computer, you should install the updates from Windows Update.

Microsoft have never been known to be short of words, but even they advise we "Skip the details and update now", you know what to do
