Now that the Blaster worm has done so much damage, don't you think it's
about time Microsoft changed its advice on pages such as the following?
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/using/howto/communicate/stopspam.asp
The section about disabling the Messenger service should either be deleted
or carry a huge warning and definitely a link to information on patching and
the blaster worm.
There are still questions being posted on the newsgroups by people wanting
to know how to stop messenger spam. I'm guessing these same people are
surfing without the MS03-026 patch.
