IMJack Posted December 21, 2001 This is why I'll be using Win98 right until I have trade up for a cheap 3.5GHz system. So much for the "most secure" Windows platform ever. 0 Share this post Link to post

Arioch Posted December 21, 2001 Patch it and move on you retards. For further edumucation, I direct you to the CERT (Computer Emergency Response Team) page of current exploit activity. Not all of those bugs are Windows, boys and girls. And quite a few of them strike at the very "secure" foundations of the internet -- *nix systems. The security of an OS is highly dependant on the ability and willingness of whoever runs it to keep current. In the case of Windows, the patching process cannot be easier, yet people don't do it. Most of the successful exploits carried out recently have been patched or otherwise nullified by patches Microsoft has already released, in many cases months in advance. 0 Share this post Link to post

IMJack Posted December 22, 2001 Here's one solution to the problem. Not quite as funny as "Microsoft Patents Zeros and Ones," but still a good read. "These aren't the bugs you're looking for..." 0 Share this post Link to post
