The delivery system is still better than MS. Load once and it then finds all the other systems on your network and fixes them. No messing with Active directory or anything, just load once and forget about it and everyone gets patched.

I don't think Variant D is installing the packages and making them immediately active without a reboot. However, the changes it makes will probably become active on the next user reboot. -----Original Message----- From: Greg Reese [mailto:GReese@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, August 19, 2003 9:01 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Virus Alert: New variant of MSBlaster coming your way...!! it is also interesting that a virus writer can find a way to silently install patches without requiring a reboot but Microsoft can't. If Microsoft's updates installed so effortlessly, there would be a lot fewer problems. -----Original Message----- From: Jan Broucinek [mailto:tinybeetle@xxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, August 19, 2003 8:56 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Virus Alert: New variant of MSBlaster coming your way...!! I'd never willingly allow this or a similar ilk into my network. But I find the concept amusing. Imagine if every time someone released a virus, someone else wrote a worm that hunts it down, kills the virus, patches the machine, and then uninstalls itself. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nail, Larry" <lnail@xxxxxx> To: <thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, August 19, 2003 8:44 AM Subject: [THIN] Re: Virus Alert: New variant of MSBlaster coming your way...!! > No, not the first helpful one, but honestly, do you really want someone > you don't know, doing this to your systems? > > -----Original Message----- > From: Jan Broucinek [mailto:tinybeetle@xxxxxxxx] > Sent: Tuesday, August 19, 2003 7:44 AM > To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [THIN] Re: Virus Alert: New variant of MSBlaster coming your > way...!! > > That is just too funny.
