Are we all gonna sit on our asses and bitch at whoever is to blame or are we going to think of ideas to solve the underlying problems ?

Here’s a few, 1. Lets make a Service that activates tcp/ip filtering and that keeps it ON in all circumstances (currently it doesn’t), which actually requires 3 random keystrokes to get it to switch off. 2. Lets make a law that states that every programmer MUST run program XXX on all their sources to check for buffer/stack overflows before compiling (such programs actually do exist). 3. As the original inventor of the heuristic scanning technique I can easily say, make a law that every OS vendor MUST build in a basic heuristic scanner into their core system where they are allowed to increase their OS price by 5$ to cover their costs. And if any OS vendor actually states their intend to do this I am more then willing to redevelop my engine to suit their needs for free, yes you read it right for free.

Vendors, programmers, you know who I mean here, take your responsibility by its b*lls and deal with it.
