What utter assholes. From the FAQ:
"Are Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, or Windows Millennium
Edition critically affected by one or more of the vulnerabilities that
are addressed in this security bulletin?
No. Although Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows
Millennium Edition do contain the affected component, the vulnerability
is not critical because an exploitable attack vector has not been
identified that would yield a Critical severity rating for these
versions. For more information about severity ratings, visit the
following Web site."
98's not vulnerable because it hasn't been attacked to their knowledge,
although it can be successfully if anyone tries. Only those *******s
could find that to be logical.
Quite.
Bound to be the virus writers' next target !
