MS’ Paranoid Software

IDG reports: “Microsoft Corp. has pulled an update to security software from its Web site after some users who downloaded the code saw their Internet connections go down.

The problems caused the update to think it was under attack, so it responded by blocking all traffic.”

Sweet! There’s one way to secure your connection. One more data point indicating that MS’ mulling of external testing for patches and updates should be upgraded to a “Do”.
