:-)

to quote:

"Microsoft is moving aggressively to isolate the problem ..."

pretty much a normal day for them then.. ;-)

" the integrity of Microsoft source code"

since when has any of their code had any kind of integrety?? :-)

on a more serious note - not only does this show that trojan viruses are
actual more a danger than those that just delete HD's, it does show serious
complacency in one of the worlds largest computing company

it is also very worrying...hackers have now got M$ source-code. hackers can
now read that to find all of the bugs and problems that the world does not
know because the world wasnt able to read/check M$ code...anyone with
Windows operating system in a business/company be afraid, be very afraid
