RE: Please run windows update now

The SMBv1 issue was disclosed a year or two ago and never patched.
Anyone who was paying attention would already have disabled SMBv1.

Thus is the danger and utter stupidity of "overloading" the function of service listeners with unassociated 
road-apples.  Wait until the bad guys figure out that you can access the same "services" via a connection to the DNS 
port (UDP and TCP 53) on windows machines ...
