RPC over HTTP Security Alert
This probably carries about the same risk as the well-documented RPC hole exploited by MSBlaster and Nachi. The 'RPC' hole and the 'RPC over HTTP' hole are different, even if you patched your computer for the 'RPC' hole, it still leaves you open for an attack that exploits the 'RPC over HTTP' hole. Like the 'RPC' hole, you just need to be connected to the intrenet to be exposed by this security hole, no web browsing or email usage required.
