grc.com— Steve basically confirms that 9x based systems are safe, but still wonders why the functionality of SetAbortProc() changed from 9x to NT kernels.

For those who complain about Gibson - please give me an alternative "security expert" who:1. Actively evangelizes security issues.2. Makes a genuine effort to help educate the "non-experts" as to what to do to secure their machines.3. Writes and gives away code to help you do so.If someone is doing a better job of informing and helping the public with computer security I want to know about it. Gibson may not be the best at security but at least he's trying to help out the masses which are the very people who need the most help.
@CatcherInTheRye>> I think my biggest problem with Steve's podcast is that Leo sits there and makes comments that are just retarded. I disagree...many times I've heard Leo make comments that *clarify* what Steve has said, or put it into some kind of meaningful context. Far more often than not, it's a valuable contribution to the discussion.
