Every version of Windows with the exception of ME (and including the "Trustworthy Computing" engineered Windows Server 2003) has a nasty stuff-up in the RPC (remote procedure call) process, which yields complete system ownership to a third party.

Be thankful for Seismic Anamoly's tip and UPDATE your windows software (Microsoft.com-updates) as soon as possible........

So how do I update? Am I 32-bit or 64-bit?

It normally updates by itself and I just say 'yes' - I don't even know how to find the updater... arggggg & I'm really tired here... Im using Win XP...

Oh I found something in Microsoft Windows XP SErvice Pack Express OK I gotta shut all programs. Wish me luck.... :muede

This is my favorite part of the article....

In keeping with its desperate PR inclination to pull "mitigating factors" out of its ass, Microsoft notes that "to exploit this vulnerability, the attacker would require the ability to send a specially crafted request to port 135 on the remote machine" -- i.e., he needs a computer.

Good ol' Microsoft...damn!!

Thanks Mike!!
