Anonymous Coward writes "This is a first: the Internet Storm Center is recommending trustworthy computing. They want you to trust that the unofficial patch for the Windows Metafile Volunerability that is currently being exploited by an IM worm. No patch from Microsoft at this time, and the exploit is arranged in such a manner that it cannot be detected by most intrusion detection systems (the snort rule will peg the CPU on your router) nor filtered by packet-inspecting firewalls (it spans two or more ethernet frames). Not really a whole lot of choice about this one."

The better question would be why obsessive compulsives who complain spelling mistakes that are perfectly legible are aloud to read the web. If you can not read misspelled words without agitation then simply do not read unedited forums. It is a much better strategy than annoying the rest of us by voicing your agitation.
