174524 2003-09-11 06:19:00 I was writing one too .

The flaws sound exactly like the one exploited by blaster . Grumble . I wonder how long it will be until the next worm gets released .

If I was releasing the patch the first thing I would do is make it disable the damn service .

this why From the MS site:

www.microsoft.com

Note Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition (SE), and Windows 95 also are not affected by this issue. However, these products are no longer supported. Users of these products are strongly encouraged to upgrade to later versions.

174528 2003-09-11 07:07:00 Yea, not supported by Microsoft but what about the rest of the PC industry???!!! Everybody else is still making drivers / programs for it! :) CYaBro (73)
174529 2003-09-11 08:23:00 Sorry, should've read a bit more :( , but I thought there was still a bit more time to go until support for Win98Se was totally dropped?

Windows Update still works ok, just checked it while writing this post ?:|

At a guess Windows Update will continure to work for quite some time. Just that they won't be putting new stuff on?
