Not to worry. Microsoft will fix it (someday?) (I'm sure?)

Anyone with good sense saves everything on a separate disk.

And besides, if anyone broke into my PC they'd be bored to tears.

Have a party, I say, Mr. Thieves !

Ha!
I invite the hackenmeisters to have a go at my machines.

It may be hubris...but I keep a very tight rein on my PCs.

Give it your best shot script kiddies. I'm sitting here waiting for your best shot.

At work I’m STRONGLY advocating a policy I came up with that forbids internal networks and computers to have any physical path or access to the internet at all. I have created an entirely separate physical network that computers can use to go online. In all work areas there can be a computer that is there for internet use, and internet use ONLY.

So far, I’m running into stiff resistance, so I doubt it will happen. Being a hospital, I don’t think we can or should risk any computer that handles patient information to have access to the internet. At least I tried.... Two years ago I found a key logger running on a registration computer. I went screaming to my boss about it, and his eyes glazed over when I tried to explain to him what a key logger was(typical IT director).
