Hi,
I was just wondering about the nasty new worms.

I think it attacked DCOM that is some kind of net ole, that is some kind of service to make programs able to use services on other pc, like the service was running on the local pc.?

But what I would like to know what that means in the practical world?

Is it possible to not run DCOM? Does a normal workstation really need DCOM?

Does a standalone home pc need it?
