billege - the patch came out in July, not several months ago, but yea, I understand what you mean. I had it patched on all of my personal computers the day after the patch was out.

I heard a really interesting conspiracy theory today at work that some government agency (NSA? who knows) created and released the worm to get people to update, as everyone (Dep't Homeland Security, etc.) has been really worried about how this vulnerability hasn't been getting patched. Because if you'll notice, this worm (strangely enough) does nothing at all malicious, except bounce your computer.

I don't believe it, but it gives you something to think about.
