   Run Diskeeper to defrag your drives? You need DCOM. Run nero? You need DCOM.
   
   End of story.

   On its homepage 'Closing TCP Port 135' info was interesting, but the 'Corporate users' info was in small print.
   
   after selecting local test dcombobulator showed this error message RPC System Fault. Please Contact GRC to Resolve This Problem. This should never happen: This system's DCOM testing returned an unexpected result which the DCOMbobulator does not know how to explain. Please contact our offices by eMail at: support@grc.com and we'll work with you to figure out what's going on, and to improve the DCOMbobulator at the same time. Great! :)

   actually dr_goodbytes, dcom has been in windows since 95b just not used, and even microsoft themselves admit that although the named exploits are only for NT based systems they could exist in 9x in a different forum but were not checked by them as everything except Me is not supported anymore.
   
   Anyways, I say that this is good as there has been cases where the patches took, but still dont do jack, but a negative is that there will be thousands who will mess something up by turning it off and eventually needing it

   I wish people wouldn't give a 1 rating because they don't understand how a program works or because it doesn't apply to their operating system.
   
   Like the other programs at Gibson Research (ShootTheMessenger, UnPlugnPray, etc.) this little program is elegant and uses no memory. I recommend that everyone who doesn't already know the site visit Gibson Research, check out the freeware programs, and download them. What they do, basically, is offer a way to turn off some of the functions in Windows that are security risks and that most of us don't use. If you find you need to use them at some future time, it's easy to turn them back on with the same little apps.
   
   Most of this can be done manually through the Control Panel, but only a windows fanatic would know where to find this stuff.

   This is a fantastic product, it’s about time someone closed down the amount on unnecessary MS ports on older O/S's
