'Nightmare' attack

Hackers target Microsoft Windows XP support system - BBC News Item

Wow this is pretty scary.

I always disable the help & support anyway :tiphat:

How? I’m mainly using Win 7 anyways, but I use XP now and again. Ta.

I think it’s the error reporting service in component services, I’ve got that and performance logs & alerts set as disabled

hasn’t caused me any problems that I’ve noticed, and had no contact from Microsoft to ask why I’m not begging them for help :smiley:

If anyone knows why I shouldn’t disable the above, please let me know :wink:
