... http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/

So... there are thousands of patches ready for download on their website. It's impossible, if you've ever programmed something even a 10th the size of windows to clear out every bug. Just doesn't happen, your product would never be released.

I fail to see why you not updating windows, and running a virus scanner has anything to do with Microsoft. If you got it through the exploit that was announced on worldwide news for about two weeks strong... every broadcast including the notice, "please go to Microsofts website for information and downloads on patching and fixing the exploit found in some version of Windows", then... well, sorry for you, should have listened.

You believe that MS was the only company wanting the ability to execute things from the browser? Mmmk.

It's odd, I've yet to get a virus in the 12 years I've been working with computers... and it's not from a lack of downloading, just maybe common sense.
