Patch That POS PC!!
Microsoft says they are seeing another wave of attacks that are targeting an exploit patched last month. You know what that means, there are a bunch of people out there with unpatched boxes and most of us know who they are. So, let's all do our civic duty and when we visit relatives tomorrow on Turkey Day…patch their POS PC. We will all benefit from your act of kindness.

It is also interesting to note that the worm patches the vulnerable API in memory so the machine will not be vulnerable anymore. It is not that the malware authors care so much about the computer as they want to make sure that other malware will not take it over too... More details are available in our encyclopedia write up.
