His a couple tips to completely disable Universal Plug and Play. Go into control panel and click on administrative tools and then click on services. Scroll down till you find "SSDP Discovery Service" right click on it and click properties and under startup type choose disabled. Click ok on the SSDP Discovery Service dialog and scroll down the services till you find "Universal Plug and Play Device Host" and do the same thing to it that you did to SSDP Discovery Service.
That's a simple fix. I tried downloading the patch but the connection keeps getting cut off or is really slow so I haven't been able to apply it yet.
Writing an OS is not like writing a Perl program. Millions of lines of code go into writing and trying to keep it secure is hard work. Some things do get overlooked. I'm not siding with M$ just saying that it is real easy to screw up. I'm working on a project right now written in C++ and WTL that's already up to 200,000 lines of code and it's becoming difficult to manage. I'm just one man, M$ has lots of programmers...so they should, in theory, be able to fix the problem.
