Hey all, rather big MS security whole that has been around for 11 weeks, incase u did not know about it - it can be fixed with XP SP1, but for those of you who can not get SP1 (due to illegal blacklisted keys) - or just have not yet, check out TechTV.........

or look for this file

uplddrvinfo.htm

located in your

C:\WINDOWS\PCHEALTH\HELPCTR\System\DFS

and delete that file, or rename it to something other then .html

This page file can be used to delete files from ANY folder on your computer.

check out the link, has more info.

THIS IS NOT A JOKE, I AM SERIOUS

TechTVs information originally came from Steve Gibson. Therefore it is unreliable at best. I have XP SP1 installed and if MS say it's fixed I'll take their word for it over Steve Gibsons any day.

for christ's sake, stop bashing Steve, the guy is smart as hell, the guy's a little jumpy, but thats about it, i saw a live demonstration on TechTV as well so i know that the bug existed and i know FOR A FACT that SP1 fixes it. I'm not trying to b1tch at you Admiral LSD, but this goes for everyone, look at Steve's life...now look at yours, see a difference? Unless you know him personally, don't bash him.


also, a plug for Steve's site:
