Dont install the Microsoft (941644) update it stops ALL your torentz & other p2p

So Microsoft silent raped me and my pc by installing this update while I slept only to realise this morning that torrents eh working. Turns out its some vulnerability with tcpip connections. So I promptly system restored. Anyone know of any recent patch that reverses the no-torrent effect of this "update"?

chakra for the heads up, I have changed my automatic updates to notify me before even downloading.

Oh lawd.  That is why I NEVER set updates to download/install automatically.
M$ ALWAYS pullin some $#!t like that.

Use the LvlLord TCPIP patch to reverse that.
The site is perfectly safe.  That patch allows you to set the number of global TCP
connections, which is essential for torrents to operate properly.

Thank me later.

...also called Intelligent TCP/IP patcher. I found it too while doing some research into this situation. They did someting similar with SP2 when they cut down the max number of half open connections. Now they cut it off enitrely so that an unpatched file will result in no torrent love. I stop the update from even coming i.e. put it in the block list so it eh have nothing to patch. Microsoft you's a baddddd mothafu...SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!!
