ah cool enough

I'd say installing the patch is easier for goofing around with things anyway

The patch takes like 2min total

 

[Luis G]

But disabling it takes away the potential risk of new vulnerabilities, and trust me, this is only the beginning.

Plus it releases resources

 

[Nixy]

meh, I don't like to muddle

Ohh trust me on this one, any OS having a port listening for RPC requests is just asking for troubles. Windblows happened to be the most used OS and target of the hackers that hates MS.
