Microsoft has released an out-of-band patch that protects a vulnerability reminiscent of Blaster. For those of you who remember this, you may want to patch right away. For those of you who don’t, patch anyway and you will thank me later.

Just the other day I was thinking that the days were behind me when I had to run around from computer to computer performing manual tasks to resurrect computers from a worm. Here we are again. If history is any indication, and if this vulnerability is as bad as it is made out to be, I doubt that this first patch will take care of every single variant of the problem.
