....Have a short item that while Microsoft was promising the USA Government that it was improving the security of Windows&reg; software, it was also revealing that there is yet another hole similar to the one that allowed the BLASTER malware to spread.

This one will let an attacker take over total control of an unpatched machine.

Even if you installed the "Blaster service Pack" you must patch again it seems. 

One wonders how many times this sort of thing has to go on before the folks that are paying for all this in licence fees and lost time realize that there is really a better way?
