If a windows update dialog pops up on an abondoned machine, does it make a sound?

Looks like Martin forgot to patch...

I got it too on my desktop at the office... I never use that thing, so it never ends up getting patched. Since I use my laptop for 100% of the work I do, it basically just sits there are collects dust. Come to think of it, I probably wouldn't have even known it was infected for another 6 months or so if it hadn't started rebooting every 10 seconds...

Of course, this is always how viruses end up coming in to the office, some machine on the network that no one ever uses, so patches never get installed... You think we would have got smart after nimda... nah... when it comes to machines we rarely use, we are just as lazy as the admins who don't patch their servers.
