Give Credit.....
where credit is due. For starters I'm not defending M$ but lets get some facts on here.

1. MS released patch before code of flaw was published on the web, therefore if you have not installed patch or will not install patch then you are on your own and Shyt Outta Luck. Your machine will get owned as soon as viri exploiting this flaw start spreading

2. Not all windows OS are affected with this flaw, Win 95, 98, 98se and ME are not affected unless user is running software this flaw affects.

3. MS did infact release fixes for the affected software and those who have updated and patched will not be affected.

4. The dumba**es who publish code for flaws on the web should be shot, beheaded and thier heads impaled on a spike for all virus writers (AND ALL would be VIRUS writers to see) as an example to stop writing worms and viruses attacking any OS. These are the same a**wipes who give virus writers additional ammunition and an easy way to create new viruses exploiting flaws.

STOP PUBLISHING CODE FOR FLAWS and the hackers and virus writers will have a harder time creating viruses.
