RE: [OT] Weird PC error when scanning using Adaware

["Ian" <ian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sounds like the machine isn't patched against the DCOM exploit (which one!
;) )

This only happens when *another* machine on the network (or internet if the
machine is exposed) uses the DCOM exploit to drop a payload on the machine.

Installing XP SP2 will patch against this (and a host of other) exploits.
To
be honest, given the increase in security of SP2, there would have to be a
really serious reason not to update all of the XP machines as a matter of
course.
