Clearly, Micro$loth is
screaming at it's customers, "DO NOT use Internet Explorer. It's full of bugs. Use another browser, such as Netscape, Mozilla, Opera, etc."
Humble Opera user for years.

Let me be the first to say it. This is why I use Linux!! Since I switched I have not had my homepage changed to a porn site, I have not had to worry about virus's, and I don't receive ANY spam, ZERO SPAM!!
I run a Linux firewall and the hits I receive everyday from blaster is off the scale!!
I agree with the writer of Blaster, Gates needs to stop making money and fix his software!!!

These particular holes were patched quite a long time ago, for those who bothered to update.
But it may be a good idea to download and use DCOMbobulater from Gibson Research, because as the article points out, related exploits are still possible. Why not just turn DCOM off if you aren't on a company network that requires it?

or changing their settings in Internet Explorer to prompt them before a Web site downloads programs that can execute on their own, Toulouse said. Wouldn't it be nice if instead of just making this statement the instructions for actually doing it were posted?

Oh, yeh; 'Opera' and 'AtGuard' are the way to go! No problems, nobody can get a response or even a cookie unless you specifically say they do, and NO malicious scripts rerouting you to Pr0n sitez or virus'Z infecting your machine.

For any readers who don't know what a "web bug" is, click on this link.
http://invite.ke2.informative.com/images/invite.gif (The link is related to the "front door" at Virtual Dr., a computer help forum I sometimes frequent, and it's like a turnstile, telling the site owners how much site traffic there is). You'll open up a blank window. Right click, choose Select All, and if you squint you'll see a small dot in the top left corner.
That's all it takes, by the way, for a spammer wanting to know if your account is active, to know you opened up his sewagemail while on-line. It costs him no bandwidth. If you feel compelled no matter what to open up suspicious mail from just anyone, at least do it off-line.
