Hello all , another poor sucker with an AMD 64 3500 and nvidia 6600 vc , same
symtoms as the rest of you running similar machines , just pray to god that
microsoft can fix this as it is their F*** up that has effectively made my
computer vulnerable to attack .Best I can say is that if anyone suffers a
virus problem we should all club together and sue their asses .This is not
acceptable from a company who makes such obscene profits as Microsoft .Good
luck too all and hope anyone reading this reports in as we need numbers to
make Microsoft sit up and take notice .

Rant ended thankyou
