    Hello people!
    
    Am I missing something here, or are there something wrong with MS99-025faq
    (www.microsoft.com/security/bulletins/MS99-025faq.asp) ?
    The registry keys we're asked to manually remove are these (may be wrapped):
    
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\
    Parameters\ADCLaunch\RDSServer.DataFactory
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\
    Parameters\ADCLaunch\AdvancedDataFactory
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\
    Parameters\ADCLaunch\VbBusObj.VbBusObjCls
    
    while the downloadable registry file we're asked to double-click
    (www.microsoft.com/security/bulletins/handunsf.exe) contains these
    adjustments (may be wrapped):
    
    ------------------cut here----------------
    REGEDIT4
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DataFactory]
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DataFactory\HandlerInfo]
    "handlerRequired"=dword:00000000
    "DefaultHandler"=""
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DataFactory\HandlerInfo\
    safeHandlerList]
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DataFactory\HandlerInfo\
    safeHandlerList\MSDFMAP.Handler]
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DataFactory\HandlerInfo\
    safeHandlerList\MSDFMAP_VB.Handler]
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DataFactory\HandlerInfo\
    safeHandlerList\MSDFMAP_VC.Handler]
    ----------------and cut here-------------
    
    I happily comitted the manual changes, then downloaded the reigistry file
    just to be sure I hadn't let anything out. None of the keys in this .reg
    file exists on my webserver. I guess they indirectly might do the same
    service as the manual changes... but why the difference?
    
    
    cheers,
