You are completely out of line. It is ZA, the maker of this 3rd party
application, who is at fault! They were well aware of this issue prior the
release of KB951748. Do yourself a favor and uninstall this horribly broken

....Mr. Kaminsky immediately reported the issue to major authorities,
including the United States Computer Emergency Response Team (part of the
Department of Homeland Security), and began working on a coordinated fix.
Engineers from *major technology vendors* around the world converged on the
Microsoft campus in March to coordinate their response. All of the vendors
began repairing their products and agreed that a synchronized release, on a
single day, would minimize the risk that malicious individuals could figure
out the vulnerability before all vendors were able to offer secure versions
of their products...
