You can’t convince me that some MS developer didn’t intentionally design this “flaw” in as a backdoor.

Or else Microsoft is hiring the criminally stupid...

The best protection you can have, assuming you’ve taken the ordinary precaution of having antivirus software, is to make occasional backups of
System State, using the Windows Backup utility. Fast, easy, free, and foolproof.

It’s a manual version of the XP System Restore. System Restore sometimes works, but it has become the prime target of malware, and just when you need it, it is disabled.

Firefox is also vulnerable to the latest crop of malware. Don’t kid yourself.

Restoring System State from a backup replaces all executable files and the Registry. It takes your programs back to the date when you made the backup without touching documents.

I don’t use IE7 — still use IE6. I wonder if the patch is applicable or needed for IE6? Anyone know?

I’ve gotten 2 updates in the last few days from Bill Gates and thought that was unusual. Now I know why.
