Thanks Microsoft for finally figuring out that your products can so easily be exploited that well. Let's not get into the thousands and thousands of hints, tips and complaints pointing that out exactly and delivered to you in the many years before that. Geez.
What's next? Please buy our future product to plug this hole? Or can existing customers expect a free update that works, keeps on working and doesn't break too many things?

Also, be very aware that it is thanks to many IRC Operators out there that plenty of botnets have been wiped out plenty times over. If it wasn't for them the botnet problem would have been very larger.
