Re: [normal] Re: MS RPC remote exploit. What about DCOMbobulator?

It's come to my attetion that disablinf DCOM in windows is near 
impossible without a regedit. Hopefully no one's already posted this to 
the list, if so my appologies for the redundancy. Steve Gibson from 
grc.com creates lots of tiny little applications to tighten up windows 
security. One of his latestest programs disables the DCOM service all 
together, no need for a patch. This might be a better option rather then 
just a patch, espcially for users who don't utilize this service. The 
tool can be found at the following URL: http://grc.com/dcom/
