For those who haven't heard, there is a huge flaw being exploited on the web that can allow full access to your system. Microsoft says they will have an official patch out on the 10th, in the mean time there is an unofficial patch available.

Man, that was quick. Guess all the uproar really lit a fire underneath Microsoft's rear, eh?

It's been amusing to watch actually. At first they were saying it was going to be weeks before they could get a patch out, then at the time of my original post it was the 10th, heh now they've managed to beat that too.

It shouldn't take them that long to patch a flaw anyway.

Well, from what they were saying the patch was done pretty quick, but they wanted to do a lot of testing to make sure it was compatible with every version of Windows. No sense releasing a patch if it ends up making other holes.
