Not me! I patched up all my systems a month ago when I'd first heard of the RPC vulnerability.
The Windoze box at home sits behind a Linux firewall anyway. Mwuahaha
Les, need any help checking out whether your "car vids" are all intact?

Just downloaded the patch last night, but all my computers are sitting behind a nice tight Linux firewall, so no problems

Actually, the worm that's taking down systems right now isn't the Blaster, it's the "white worm", Welchia which is out to actually clean up affected systems.
The problem is that it replicates so fast that it's bringing networks down.
Apparently, these two worms seem to be a competition for some sordid individuals...
