It has been three months since Belgiandip reared its ugly head on this forum; five
months since it wormed it's way onto our computers here at the house, and Thankfully
nearly two months since I finally got rid of it.
Because of it, I have downloaded many great programs. Because of it, I have become
active in security forums, and have learned a great deal.
Since the arrival of Belgiandip, Microsoft was forced to take warnings about it's
OS' security flaws a bit more seriously, and although initial reviews of SP2 are
very mixed and cautionary, one would presume, Microsoft is still working hard to
fix the problem and in some cases, fix the fixes!
A few excellent programs became stronger - Ad-Aware, Spybot, to name a few; new programs
were written - a2 (a Squared) http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/
I can't help but wonder what the damage$ this 64kb piece of code will be responsible
for!
