Unpicking Microsoft's patchwork | |

After the Download.Ject attack, Microsoft on Friday released a "configuration change" it wants people to apply to installations of the Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000 operating systems. The software behemoth announced the move in a bid to shut down any additional exploitation of a vulnerability that affects Windows-based desktop and notebook PCs. | ||

| I do agree with the point it is valid but maybe the media should stop dumbing down the vulnerabilities and call it what it is then maybe some of the newbees would learn something about their computer. |

That "configuration change" stopped my pop-up blocker from blocking pop-ups...
I'm not the only one that had that problem. |

cto - Oh hell, there are idiots in the computer industry who don't understand this vulnerability.
I don't even want to try to explain it to toaster users. Anyway, this article is valid criticism, and it's amazingly done in a useful way without all the hyperbole that we'd get had it been a Register article. |
