It's probably the product of a pissed-off sysadmin... I once considered writing an Outlook virus that would set the Outlook settings to something secure and forward itself to everyone in your address book. I decided not to because of the risk of getting lynched -- and because I would have actually had to use Outlook meself.... As someone else mentioned, one of the big problems with Welchia is that it disrupts the network at least as much as msblast. I'd much rather have a Nessus plugin that would exploit the vulnerability to install the patch, but do nothing else. That way, I could auto-patch machines from my desk by merely lifting a finger over my left mouse button. :-)~ -Luke -- Luke Scharf, Systems Administrator Virginia Tech Aerospace and Ocean Engineering ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
