Maybe every ISP should point it to windowsupdate.microsoft.com instead of
127.0.0.1 *chuckle*. That would only favour the person that wrote the virus
.
Guess we can't all win.

Make www.windowsupdate.com point to 127.0.0.1 so it doesn't do anything or what?
Except that it makes it a more effective DOS. Because then NOBODY can reach windowsupdate regardless - instead of just painfully slowly - or decently for whatever Akamai based reason. Time to hold onto whatever body part you guys value - here comes the storm. Although on a side note I hope the blaster infections are lower than I think they are - because all of you have been blocking netbios / 139tcp / etc. since this thing broke out. Right? Should be a more interesting 24 hours then eh? :-| m
