Hacker can get total control of your computer !!

[-=DVS=-]

HOLY C***

FOR THOSE READERS who wish to spend their time usefully today, rather than bending paperclips into shape or whittling their toenails, Microsoft has kindly issued several more security updates for operating systems that it hand crafts.
The first is a problem that could allow hackers to gain complete control over a PC and affects NT4.0, NT4.0 Terminal Server Edition, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. The details are here (http://www.microsoft.com/security/security_bulletins/ms02-071.asp) .

The second applies to Windows XP and Windows 2000, and says there's a security bug in these operating systems to change a network's security policies. That information is here (http://www.microsoft.com/security/security_bulletins/ms02-070.asp) .

There are several security bugs in Microsoft Virtual Machine – which lets Java programs run on Windows machines. Yes, this could allow someone malicious to compromise a system and reformat your hard drive. It applies to all versions of Microsoft Virtual Machine. Details of these bugs are here (http://www.microsoft.com/security/security_bulletins/ms02-069.asp) . µ

The Java problem don't affect me because I use Sun's runtime. :D

Is it better? I mean, does it load quicker and is more efficient? I don't really care about the whole security thing, I get lotsa attempts every day, so its not like they're gonna get control of my comp anytime soon.;) :D

It works with Mozilla/Phoenix.

'Nough said. :p

As for the MS virtual machine, I spit on it. It is disgrace to the word virtual machine. typedenuf, time to sleep

If you pay attention to the "mitigating factors" in the "get more information" section, you'll notice the two first flaws are not as serious at they first look like, especially the first one. Personally, I don't know any skilled hacker with interactive logon privileges on any of my rigs... ;)

Thanks for the heads-up anyway.

I downloaded these updates, and the windows update site for windows 2000 was slower than molasses. Did anyone else have this problem? I mean, it took like 30 mins. to download 3.7 megs on a cable connection.

Must be because the added features of M$ aren't there... :D

well microsoft is sending these updates to just about everyone with windows update running, so they're probably bogged down...

they could always just make a better OS but, jeez, that takes SO much work!
