windowsupdate.com has been pulled my MS. See

I believe they've shifted to windowsupdate.microsoft.com
I wouldn't say they've "shifted" to windowsupdate.microsoft.com. As far as I'm aware, thats always been the actual URL of windows update pretty much since day one. I've been using windowsupdate.microsoft.com as the URL for years now.... Maybe they had a redirection page at windowsupdate.com or just mirrored that URL as well. If the worm really targets windowsupdate.com and not windowsupdate.microsoft.com then the worm author isn't as smart as they'd like to think they are :) (big surprise there huh....) Regards, Simon
