Do you ever get the feeling that Microsoft doesn't know as much about it's own system and code than these hackers do? If they do know as much as the Hackers they have a serious quality control and supervisory problem. If they don't as much they need to hire these people to help them in securing their obviously porous software.

Maybe if Microsoft weren't so interested in having access to your computer themselves they could prevent others from doing the same thing.

Just run a program coded in .Net - DEP is not turned on for .Net programs at all.

My next machine will be either Linux based or a Mac, I'm tired of all the patches ,updates and BS that comes with a MS product.

The problem with Bill Gates' "Conquer the World" strategy is that there is always another young protege in the wings preparing to take it from him.

Such are the liabilities and travails of being a Sith Lord.

As usual, there will be an update. I've never had a virus. I just update whenever there is one and use a hub with a firewall. No problem.

I read a while back that MS will 'push' SP2 updates this spring. Exactly what will 'push' entail? Unrefusable downloads?
