ya i was reading that in the newspaper alto they did not say much about it

I don't know,
Microsoft seems to be taking this pretty seriously.

i should be fine.. just not going to watch porn for that month

BS.

you better start hoarding your video's now.

Man, time to fire up outpost... and lockdown our network

Oh jesus, Not going to do any torrents that month.

Is ok. I use my old desktop to download moves and stuff and my laptop for gaming and msn and surfing so I should be OK.

Torrenting, and that kinda activity shouldn't be a bother, providing you're using the proper NAT transveral port forwarding and not some stupid ass DMZ setup.

That being said, it really exploits the RPC service as per the wiki article, and I dunno about you guys, but i've had that turned off since NIMDA

wtf did u just say^

doesn't stuff like system restore and windows messenger rely on RPC?

did you lose any of those services when u turned it off?
