This is very similar to the hole the recent Blaster worm used. It is likely one of the existing worms could be retooled quickly to take advantage of this, so everyone with a Windows box should patch ASAP.

And some people think spending a few bucks on a router (with NAT or a firewall) isn't worth it...

Knock on wood, still PC virus (or trojan or worm, etc.) free since 1995 (first Windows machine).

The three obvious consipiracies that most people don't talk about: Anti-Virus Companies and "Viruses," Gasoline prices and Road Work (paving, grading, making and filling cracks - 20 "workers" 1.5 people busy every hour)

So one day, a bus with a road crew pulls up to a work site. A few minutes later, a pickup truck with their foreman arrives and he has them gather around.

``Okay, guys, it seems that the truck with all the tools is running pretty late, so, until it shows up, you're all going to have to lean on each other.''
