I just checked my version of atapi.sys (dated 8/10/2004) at VirusTotal and it's clean. I wonder if it would be safe for me to run the 'workaround' M$ recommends to stop the vulnerability -- which the patch MS10-015 (KB977165) was designed to plug? I mean to run the "Fix It" they talk about here: Vulnerability in Windows Kernel could allow elevation of privilegehttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/979682Thanks.
Hi Rick..I would say yes. Run the fix until Microsoft decides what they plan to do about the patch. It's better to have something in place, for now. You can always remove the fix when Microsoft decides to move on this issue. Be sure to bookmark the page where the fix comes from so that you will have the fix removal as well. Hope this helps you.
