NT Authority shutting down your computer?

NT Authority shutting down your computer? Windows exploit! Patch your system: http://www.techspot.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=6651

If your system will stay on long enough for you to do so, I would recommend a windows update asap.

I do tech support for DSL internet connections. It is definatly NOT a hoax.

We've gotten at least 50 calls about it already today.

Thank god I have a mac! The last virus that was of any level of seriousness was in '96...

I guess also having an OS maker that's actually dedicated to computer security helps...
