MSBlast epidemic far larger than believed | |
|

| Time: 09:31 EST/14:31 GMT | News Source: News.com | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner | ||

New data from Microsoft suggests that at least 8 million Windows computers have been infected by the MSBlast, or Blaster, worm since last August--many times more than previously thought. The latest data comes from the software giant's ability to track the usage of an online tool that its engineers created to clean systems infected with the worm. Since the January release of the tool, more than 16 million of the systems that connected to Microsoft's Windows Update service were found to be infected with MSBlast and were offered a patch and the use of the disinfecting tool, the software giant told CNET News.com. During the same period, about 8 million systems actually called on Update to patch them and prevent reinfection and used the special tool to remove the worm. | ||

| It all comes down to the fact that they believe that they have the most secure OS and don`t have to do anything about it. I`m not saying that windows is more secure but with the suppossed growing ranks using Linux more and more attacks are going to be launched on them and everyone thinks it's solid so they get caught with their pants down when they find out how wrong they were for not being more proactive. |

I wish monkeydog would say something hilarious about Parkker's post.
I thought Parkker was banned? |

#14, if your "customer" has 75 or less employees you should look at the competitively priced Microsoft Small Business Server 2003 Standard or Premium Edition. Most reviewers have rated it the best of its type and no one has rated it outside the top three.
But, you knew that already didn't you? |
