I am a "Technologist", a Technology enthusiast that is usually the one that is called should a major catastrophe strike an end user. My saga of computer rescues becomes a plot that is ever so thickening, if not only for the fact that's it's becoming incredibly easy for hackers and malicious code writers these days to invade personal property to find, seek, and destroy. Each year, virus and hacker threats increase, and in addition the damage trail left behind is something of a problem. Not to forget, a majority of "PC Panic" cases I've come across are often times the same common, "major" problem.

what I don't understand is this.....
It is easy enough to comprehend that the msblast trojan will attempt a denial of service attack on Microsoft and Windows Update site.
BUT - Microsoft release a flawed product (i.e. Windows) and expect users to go to the update site and patch all their machines. This means that they will be getting more connection requests than any trojan cope hope for.
BUT - becasue Windows is so flawed with lax security, how long will it be before Microsoft realises that another security patch is needed and issues another warning that gets more users to try to connect to the site ?
Maybe it is just me, but I think if Microsoft would have spent more time locking down the system instead of wasting time on the crappest user interface on any system, then it might be worth someones while actually using it !
