--- Quote from: toadlife ---It's NOT worse than Blaster. Blaster was a self propogating worm that executed code on remote systems. This simply exploits a bug in the image rendering code, (or maybe the kernel's handling of graphics drivers?), and crashes the OS.

You're right but I was more thinking of being able to do a "shutdown -a" in the prompt to prevent msblast/sasser. With this bug it totally locks up the comp and reboots/shows bluescreen.

Also, I think this has a lot to do with RAM. Some people who have a lot of ram report the bug just locking the comp up instead of reboot/show bluescreen.

toadlife:
Perhaps the memory is just filling up? Running out of memory is  sure way to crash any os. That woulf explain why people with huge amounts of ram don't crash.

Why would you click on that link if you were doing something important at the time?

Hmm this makes me remember the "Britney spears pic + mIRC + IE + Windows" bug. Don't remember how it worked though, but it was very nasty.
