OK - not spyware, but probably of interest to many here.

I spoke to Sandeep Hooda, on the New Delhi Windows 2000 Support Team, during
the attack. They were handling 300 calls per hour for days. People were
falling asleep at their work stations after working non-stop for 2 or 3
days. Redmond had to start handling some of their calls, Not a pretty
picture. I hope those people get some appreciation.

I let him know that my problems were not as critical as his problems.<g>

I'm trying to figure out if I know anyone I can pass that on to.

Somebody asked in a private group--whether anyone had actually been affected
by this worm--folks outside the large corporate sector just didn't notice
it.


I worried about it. I patched my Internet facing servers the day the patch
came out, but I never did call and try to get my mother-in-law's machine
set up for remote access and check on it. She's still sending email, so I
hope she is OK--autoupdates are on and working each time I've checked.
She's 320 miles away and well into here 90's and I avoid bothering her with
extraneous stuff whenever possible. Should have put XP on years ago.....
