Good Idea though it would probly just get you the next day.You never know...Probably just do what Evil said and keep you Firewalls up and running.With a early understanding of the threat I wouldn't be too concerned as long as you're up-to-date you'll be fine. It's the unknown threats that are of more concern.I'm going to do absolutely nothing. Heck I haven't even run windows update on this computer. I thought I removed it but a bunch of Q#### entries appear in add/remove programs so I guess it's doing something automatically.Do you think this whole thing is an April Fools joke??
