It does a H*LL of a lot more than that!!!
Whether it is the UPnP flaw, or this new exploit, my Win ME system has been "taken over" by a "DNS SPOOF" attack three times in the last two weeks!! The attacker installs a Second MASTER Boot Record on a machine with only ONE physical hard drive and only ONE partition, namely C.
This second Master Boot Record then reserves 2 GIGABYTES on the drive for God only knows what!
MS is, IMHO, writing LOGIC TIME BOMBS!
ENOUGH ALREADY!!!
