Consumers and corporations using Microsoft Corp.'s new Windows XP (news - web sites) software are being warned by the FBI (news - web sites) to take added steps against hackers who might try to take advantage of major flaws.
The bureau's National Infrastructure Protection Center said Friday that, in addition to installing a free software fix offered by Microsoft on the company's Web site, consumers and corporations using Windows XP should disable the product's ``universal plug and play'' features affected by the glitches.
