Not everybody is patching
« on: April 15, 2006, 03:39:18 PM »
Hi malware fighters,

Even people that suppose to patch their systems, ain't. And they even hesitate to admit this.

It could be frightening in its implications,

Patching everything and always!  ;D yes, a lot of people still can not understand why they need to patch or update their OS and other programs if it works well...  :-\

Yes, it is sad that many do not understand patching. This is also why malware writers are successful and their numbers increase everyday. It was just a week or 2 ago that someone was in here with a virus problem that was from a 4 year old virus.    ::)

An old saying goes, "Some just never learn." Yes, it is sad.
