Sasser virus hits

Lo! and behold! Despite M$'s patch for the exploit used by Sasser being a month old my University was not protected and today every PC in the place was hit ... Admittedly it took less then 2 hours for the necessary updates to be propagated (go support!) but still it was embarrassing to explain to the dozens of students trying to hand-in electronically assignments for my module that they had an extension due to the problems. Ironically the most historically unreliable service in the Uni (Blackboard) was safe as it's not running on a Window$ system <grin>
