A virus or worm that exploits newly revealed vulnerabilities in the current versions of Windows could emerge fairly soon, security experts say, in part because the vulnerabilities are very similar to the flaws exploited by the MSBlast worm.

Just patch you box to prevent another blaster.

Oh yeah this one is alot of fun. I had installed my new OS and within 24 hours of having a fresh install on a brand new HD and attempting to download the updates from the www.windowsupdate.com website I had some sort of problem. DLLHOST.EXE was taking up 100% of my bandwith and 90% of system resources. WOW! I got help and fixed the problem but this is a little LAME for a fresh install, basically Security with Windows is questionable.

I'm used to the erroneous errors generated in XP!!! I'm waiting for a better PC to work seriously with Linux.

DJCrazyJimmy, I've never once had an error like that. Maybe the install went kaput. Tongue
