It's not a problem for me, I know my machine is ok... But what about all the
millions of people who are going to be left with unsecured computers, and
don't know about it, or why it's happening?

Hi Jon:

I would recommend downloading and using Microsoft's Malicious Software
Removal Tool if concerned. Of course you could always wait until MS solves
the problem.

Am I reading this correctly, and the update won't install if you have a
rootkit, but it won't tell you that you have a rootkit, only that the
installation failed?
