If u update ur windows OS on a reg basis then the sasser worm won't affect u
Microsoft identified this one and released an update quite a while back

Yes, Microsoft released a patch to prevent against this vulnerability on April 10th, I believe. It's nearly a month later now... |

Exactly, I've known this worm was going widespread for about a week now. I've had the update since the day it released, sooner or later people are going to realize that the updates really are important.
Although, none of this would be necessary if Microsoft produced a better product... |
