With Exploits on the Way, It's Critical Win 7 Testers Run Tool to Safeguard Their PCs
,----[ Quote ]
| Update 1 11:21 p.m., Mon. Sept 21, 2009: Some users are
| reporting trouble running the tool to disable the SMB. As
| Microsoft's security advisory lists the Windows 7 RC (see
| the Faq, it's not in the lists OS's) as affected, and says
| to follow the advised steps, its unclear what to do here.
| Brandon Hill tried to run the tool in the 64-bit version of
| the release candidate, like the commenter did, and
| confirmed that it fails. Its unclear if the tool works for
| 32-bit release candidates, the betas, or none of the
| Windows 7 releases at all. We'll update further as we get
| more details.
