Re: Nachi the new champion bad boy

Saw a test where it took less than 6 seconds for infection after connecting an unpatched XP box.
I don't think Microsoft has any option concerning enabling the ICF by default in the upcoming XP SP2, it has to be done. If users disable it then they do so at their own risk and hopefully they realize that and take appropriate steps to maintain their security.
I wonder how many computer shops install all the service packs and patches before shipping/releasing a computer to a customer?
Does anyone have CPU utilizations stats surround the Nachi worm as I would think it eats a fair bit of CPU?

Microsoft is still selling the Windows XP OS software to computer companies that don't have the MS updates? I think this would be a good place for the buck to stop here!
Thats like buying a brand new car without any brakes.
Something needs to be done about that, even though everyone needs to be educated on computer security. |

I do. I run MS's SUS Server on my network server. When I build a new computer I connect it to my network and redirect Automatic Updates to my server. I come back in 20 minutes and the new system is up to date.
