Hey there,

I just thought that I would let all you XP users know
that there is a major security flaw in XP. This flaw is
in the Command Prompt part of Windows XP. If someone was
to find out your IP of your router or your computer and
you were on a network you could get screwed. It let's you
have acess to your computer's hard drive and all the
other computers on the network!

Nice paronia and hysteria. Got any details? Any at all would be nice.
