The doxpara link is the one I tried but nothing happened. I might try it again sometime to see if I get any joy.

687014 2008-07-10 01:44:00 I've read about it too and the test on the doxpara site says my PC is vulnerable. I could not find a fix anywhere, however. Why should I be worried (or not) about this DNS Cache Poisoning?

There probably isnt a fix, thats why whoever is doing whatever now

It's done through Auto updates....
(they been working on it for near six months since it was discovered)


Personal computers should pick up the patch through automated updates. Microsoft released its patch on 8 July as part of its regular security cycle.

Some readers have contacted the BBC saying that applying Microsoft patch had caused problems with their PC. However, a Microsoft spokesman said its call centre staff had not seen any calls about such problems.
