[Elecraft] I need your help...Spammer

[David Wilburn]

There is a very bad bug out now, one of many that preys specifically 
on systems that are not patched.  I think we are seeing the result of 
people not keeping their system patched, or using older OS's that are 
no longer patched by MS.  Bad MS, no cookie!

How often have you heard someone say, "I stopped letting Windows 
update my machine, it keeps messing it up".

Conflicter was already out in 4 strains, and as it becomes more 
successful, it will be re-written to do more, thus it will likely mutate.
