What about the REAL bug?
When are they going to "patch" that bug where all files on the whole file system are treated as executable code? That's the fundamental security flaw in MS-Windows. No execute bit. Like a baby who puts things in its mouth to see what they are, it tends to pick up viruses from the environment.

Whoops, silly me! That's not a bug, it's a feature!
