The majority of my support calls regarding this worm have been from home
users.
So I have a question:
Consider a home user with a single system who is Internet connected, but
not doing any sort of Microsoft-based networking at all. Would not
unbinding the Client for Microsoft Networks from TCP/IP in the network
connection properties (NIC or dialup, makes no difference) completely
prevent an attack from this worm or any of its variants?
Regards,
Glenn Pearl
