*I give up*

Another major security flaw in Windows and that too its in the same freaking RPC service. Please patch your systems now before we see another blaster worm 🙁

Me being a computer geek , spent the last 30 min trying to make windows update work. I can imagine the fate of a normal computer user. Finally gave up on it and had to install the patch manually. How dumbfuck can MS be ? They do windows update via IE and since I was going though a proxy, it thought the proxy IP was my windows machine and was trying to patch my freaking proxy.

And MS hires costly programmers to write piece of shit programs like these.

    just how is it that you keep track of the windows-security-flaw bulletins? the chaps in charge of patching stuff where i work are always a coupla steps behind… we haven’t been notified yet.
    you’re on an ms mailinglist that sends you these?

    I’m no geek, but the update worked like a charm for me. Or at least I think it did ! 😉
