All modern Windows OS's had a patch made available in March. Whether or not it was applied is another matter.

There is a lot of talk on this forum about delaying/deferring/turning off Windows updates and this current worm is a good example why you should patch as soon as possible. Not doing so may leave you vulnerable and you may not know it until it's too late.

But Microsoft's heavy-handed attitude towrard forced updates in Win10 is turning a lot of people off which is unfortunate.

Our heads are not in the sand we are taking precautions to not get infected.
That includes NOT clicking on links you do not trust and keeping our patches up to date.

I certainly didn't!

Do continue to place your collective heads in the sand.
