I know how you feel Hex, but the truth is a lot of users don't update. They don't run firewalls and they don't even have antivirus software, and even if they did have antivirus software, they don't keep the definition updated.

But this worm has affected thousands of PCs. It is not that hard to fix, and doesn't do that much damage.

I've had 3 friends and my father-in-law give me a ring about this because they don't even know how to update. Some people just don't understand it, or they don't care. They just use the PC to surf, check email, stocks, etc... They are not PC people.
