alright Joe, we'll let you off the hook :) It's all in good fun.
In case you care, PC Mall just sent me an ad and they have the DLink DI-614+
access point/firewall available for $10 after rebates.

Ha, ha, very funny. So I'm lazy with my home machines, sue me... ;) I'll get a
real firewall one day along with a wireless LAN, encrypt my email to my mates,
teach a pig to fly, etc.
No it's a home pc, no LAN, broadband is the only connection. ICF was running
before the infection, and I confirmed it's configruation after being infected.
The reason I'm posting here are twofold 1: I've subscribed to the XP ilst, but
nothing's coming through and 2: I can't see anyone else mentioning in the world
mentioning that ICF doesn't protect you.
MS have specifically referred to it in the security bulletin, so if it is a
problem and not just me, we can ridicule the builtin firewall even more.

you have got MCSE, MCP+I etc after you name and you trusted the built in
Microsoft firewall??
Could another locally infected computer have gotten you?
