As noted by Brian Krebs among others, Microsoft is releasing an emergency security patch. I'm not sure whether having "Automatic Updates" turned on results in proper notification -- on the one machine where I do have this on, I did not get a notification, at least, not right away.
In any case, fire up Internet Explorer and visit http://update.microsoft.com/, just to be safe.
Microsoft has noted one possible glitch associated with this patch, which affects users of XP SP2 running Realtek HD Audio Control Panel. Visit this page for details.
