I'm outta here.

I have shown you what I know about the patch and protecting yourselves. I
have projects to get out and must concentrate on them at this time.

Ultimately (in PCs as in life), your seurity is in your hands. Do your
research. Listen to whom you trust.

I wish you all the very best in this new year.

Have fun and be safe.

Jim

"But Microsoft cautions against Guilfanov's patch. "As a general rule, it is
a best practice to utilize security updates for software vulnerabilities
from the original vendor of the software," Microsoft said.
At least one user has reported difficulties after installing the fix. The
update can cause network printing problems, according to an e-mail sent to
the Full Disclosure security mailing list.
While some critics have given Microsoft's response to the WMF flaw a failing
grade, the company has also gained some respect for its handling of the

blame Microsoft for wanting to test it thoroughly," Hypponen said. "However,
if a widespread worm is found before next Tuesday, I do believe they will
break the cycle and just release the patch."
