I saw that thread and I know a sort of war betwen them and gmer etc going on.
Not good to see all this stuff but I don,t expect it to be stopped as well.

 

No, of course that war won't be stopped and it can be quite entertaining at times!

No patch yet?

 

Not yet.
Be patient. Are working hard on it.

 

This vulnerability is classified as low risk because of its local nature: the user has to manually launch the exploit on his computer. Exploiting the vulnerability results in a critical system error (BSOD) but does not escalate privileges or provide a remote user with control over the computer......end of QUOTE

 

Looks like those of us running Vista don't have to worry about it at all
