That's not bad for a whole month, only 3 different ways to have your system remotely owned.

None of these will install for me - whether through windows update or directly off my desktop. Does anyone know why? I first get an "access denied" then this:

LOL, at Curio, tell me about it... we are heading for some really bad viruses, with the last few months releasing many patches for remote execution holes :eek:
