Downgrade Windows by 2 versions, and you will be safe for a long time, there are no new features that are useful in Windows 7 or Win10, it's only gay shit for stupid users :)
alternativetly, buy an iMac
I believe Vista is essentially the same as XP. And though it had a bad rep at first, after it was tweaked it was a stable platform.....which I have proved for the last 4 years by using it.
And my icons are fine.

Yeah pretty fucking stupid advice, since most people using Windows are either using it for a reason or they're just a fucktard like Buttplug.
Having said that, I cannot see the attraction of Vista, it was as slow as shit and painful to watch.
This exploit is all about legacy, Microsoft trying to keep SMB 1.0 support for cunts that can't be arsed to spend the money to upgrade.
So I hope all those c u n t s got encrypted, and hopefully now they'll dump the shit and move onto something a but more secure.
Apart from Buttplug, he's just a dumb c u n t, and I couldn't give a fuck what happens to the fat queer troll.
I have seen several references to Microsoft releasing an emergency patch for Vista and XP, but I have yet to see a link that works.
Maybe thick c u n t s like Buttplug are desperately trying to get it and jamming the site up.

If 'fucktard like Buttplug' means average consumer who knows little about computers and is too scared to try something new, then yes, you're right. Most people use Windows because they don't know that there is an alternative or think that you need to be some kind of black belt hacker to use a Linux system.Quote:

Most people use Windows because it has by far the widest selection of software and compatible hardware.
If Linux was the number one OS, you'd be sat here in the middle a Linux ransomware attack telling everyone to switch to Windows.
There is nothing to stop you opening a "Use Linux instead of Windows" thread. Fuck, how hard is it to use Rufus to burn a bootable Linux ISO and give it a try without even wiping Windows?
If you are that confident that you are right, it should be a great success.
And no, inexperienced computer user is not the same as "fucktard like Buttplug", that gallic poof is very special needs, as you may have deduced.
This may take a few refreshes to load, but it has patches for legacy OS's.

actually most people use Windows because it comes pre-loaded on their hardware and they are too lazy to think otherwiseQuote:

OK, you wouldn't.
There are probably going to be a bundle of new attacks come Monday morning all over Asia.
By the way, if you have Windows 10, you are still vulnerable because it supports SMB1.0 (that legacy shit again).
If you want to turn it off, just type "Windows Features" into the search box and disable it as per the image:

Or just apply Windows Updates.
what's the regedit hack for that ? need to do it for my Win10 :)
what exactly, in laymans terms, is it and does that do?Quote:
SMB1.0
how exactly does it leave a win10 computer open to attacks?
if it is turned off, what features will be disabled?
i have looked it up, but cant understand much of the explanations. they are very technical.
This has all you need to know;Quote:

thanks bsnub , starting to become a (little) clearer now.
to make sure stupid SMB1 is disabled, it doesn't hurt to add this regkey :p
this works for all Windows version:
Go to: "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanSer ver\Parameters"
Then add New DWORD key => SMB1 with Value = 0
Ok....how do I do this in Vista ?
launch regedit from the run menu, very easy
DF reminds me of an engineer I used to work with who acted like he was trying to help but spoke one or two levels of understanding above the level of the person he was speaking to. Just so he sounded smart.
This is the problem with computers and...
The average car driver does wish to change the fuel injectors. Or even know ho to. Why isn't this stuff disabled if it is vulnerable.
Apply the patch in the link above.

Seriously though, get off Vista. You're just asking for trouble.
