Windows 98 is vulnerable. Windows 98 is not supported by MS any longer, and there are literally thousands of unpatched known exploits for that OS. Windows 98 should only be used in non-networked single-purpose applications now, and furthermore an exit plan should be devised for all systems still running 98. If you are still using Windows 98 then this new vulnerability is the least of your security concerns. -- Dotan Cohen http://gibberish.co.il http://what-is-what.com -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
