My friend just got that thing what the hell is it?

[Scaper-X]

The basic summary is this:

"Windows XP Security Patch: Buffer Overrun In RPC Interface Could Allow Code Execution

...

A security issue has been identified that could allow an attacker to remotely compromise a computer running Microsoft® Windows® and gain complete control over it."

In short, it means those machines which have the virus are (possibly) being actively hacked.

Skeery. Glad I updated WinXP and LiveUpdated often.

hmmm... that doesn't really affect me as I'm on 98, but I was gonna ask this anyway:
What is the best virus scanner?

I have been using McAffee, which did the job, but the shitty thing is that it is an absolute resource hog and my computer runs as if it had a virus anyway when McAffee is running. What does everyone else use? (Links if possible)
