As far as the McAfee providing the code to replicate such a worm (or improve it) is laughable. Give it your best shot and email it to me, I will gladly open it and let my micro$oft patch, or McAfee's securtiy suite make quick work of it. If all else fails there is nothing like nightly backups with Acronis to restore everything in a matter of minutes. Freedom isn't free and if you lock your house doesn't it make sense to do the same with your computer? This is a matter of micro$oft vulnerabilties (which they caught in time) and lazy or ignorant windows users, take your pick; either way, the rest of us are GOOD.
