Hi, i do not really understand your subject line. Sasser is out in the wild and the arrest of the author will not stop the worm. They arrested one author but that will not stop people from writing the next worm.
I would call it victory day if Microsoft puts security as topic one on their priority list. At the moment their security initiatives only exists on powerpoint-marketing-papers. Now i will get the answer that the user should install all of the released fixes in time, but the nomal user does not even know how to install fixes. The normal user has no knowledge about firewalls, system fixes, trojans, viruses etc. This user just buys the pc and starts getting online. This is why the develper of the system (Microsoft) has to adress the problem asap.
