The "experts" are quoting 2 or 3 years...

Didn't the 'experts' say something similar about putting out the Kuwait oil fires ?????????

IMO it won't take that long for everyone to clean their machines and protect them, then msblaster will have nowhere to go ??

According to this: http://www.pcmag.com/print_article/0...a=45789,00.asp there are around 211million PCs running XP alone, maybe up to 300million running 2k/XP.

There's always going to be a few that still have the worm or have no firewall there's always somebody in the world running a new install of XP with no patches.
This is why the worm will live for so long. :)

Code Red is still going strong. I get attempted attacks almost daily on my web server logs, half of which come from NTL customers :eek:.

Yes, had the privacy thing on trial but it kept stopping me from getting online - CS told me to diable it and the trial spam killer as well! :shrug:

Yes, I don't have the privacy thing or spamkiller. Don't see the need.

Neither do I Ramrod, but they kept sending me these damned e-mails offering a free trial.......
Just as well I had a go really, now I know not to buy it!! :D

Funny you should mention that... the MS website DID go down earlier

If you protect your PC with an anti virus checker and a firewall you won't be affected. just remember to update your VIRUS DEFINATIONS.

And well sorted basically
