Nerds get that but a lot of customers don't.

The less tech savvy would a lot more likely to be able to set up a router than to ever get ICS to work.

Re: Has M$ heard of testing?

i am that less tech savvy person. what does that mean to me? and what is ICS and if im running a router (Dlink Di-624) and windows firewall would i be safe? or do you recommend a 3rd party firewall instead?

Re: Has M$ heard of testing?

This exploit is a threat when Microsoft's Internet Connection Sharing is enabled. If you're using a router than this vulnerability doesn't affect you.

I would however still recommend a 3rd party firewall. I really don't trust the microsoft one. I prefer one that gives me more control over what is being allowed. The MS firewall is configurable to a point, but not like I would prefer.

I was just thinking the same thing. A router (especially a wired router) is infinately easier to setup than ICS.

Not many possible candidates out there for this bug.

People still on dial-up with home networks are candidates for this.

Typical response! What software doesn't have vulnerabilities?
