OT - windows mass hack
 

Just a warning.
Looks like there is a mass hack on at present to
exploit the latest security hole. If your PC keeps
wanting to re-boot with the rpc service failing
then you need to get the fix from windows
update and activate your firewall.
The fix you need is:

Buffer Overrun In RPC Interface Could Allow Code Execution (823980)

When are people going to learn? There is no program, computer, or OS that is
immune to virii, trojans, worms, etc. If we all switched to Agent, or
Gravity, or BeoS, or Opera, or Macs, so would the ppl who write the virii.
Doesn't matter.
