Eager to tarnish Microsoft's shiny new Service Pack 2, the security press managed to spin the most thin and marginal issues into "gaping holes" and "security craters."

>> Anti-virus software is irrelevant, as in this day in age hackers are known to have compilers.

For the life of me, I can't work out the relevance of this comment. I am assuming you think that only recently virii (?) have started to be compiled and that anti-virus software can't deal with compiled virii. Which is interesting, given compiled virii have been around for at least 10 years (on multiple platforms / OSes), and anti-virus software has been dealing with it throughout that period.

Maybe I have misunderstood. Can you enlighten me as to your intended meaning?
