Exploit already available for Windows vulnerability

Am subscriber to Computer World and have a bit of news, if anyone is interested:

heres the url: http://www.computerworld.com/printth...105389,00.html

This mainly concerns Win 2000, but you can see there are some busy bees out there already.

Windows Flaws

Thought I'd just add Chery,that it also effects Windows XP,and Server 2003.Apparently the patch could lock users out of their PC, prevent the Windows Firewall from starting, block certain applications from running or installing, and empty the network connections folder, amongst other things.A good way to install confidence for an eagerly awaited Vista (aka santa 2006)
Simply because it has Redmond stamped on it,the morons,and idiots will always try to expose any fault.


Update 18th October:

Flaw in Windows Media Player.View this link:

Thanks Nez

Darn! this kinda makes on scared to even think about automatic downloads with fixes from Microsoft. Good thing there are forums that help educate with early warnings..
