Windows Sidebar vulnerability
Oh come on! They said that there would have been a patch made today to fix a vulnerability for the Windows Sidebar and Gadgets, but just now I went on Windows Update and found none!
What's the hold-up, guys? 
Maybe that's something that's been queued for Patch Tuesday, perhaps, but for now, it looks like Inspector Gadget is on his way out.
How many of you were following up the report on the findings of the gadgets vulnerability by hackers at Defcon? Microsoft warns Windows users to disable features in light of security vulnerability | My System Specs |

The only FIX that MS has is to disable the Sidebar and Gadgets. Microsoft Security Advisory: Vulnerabilities in Gadgets could allow remote code execution
Since MS is killing it in Windows 8, they may not do anything else for Windows 7.

I know, it's a pain, but there had been a few times I had to reinstall the entire the entire OS just because the Clock gadget would stall the system just because of the second hand! Or the CPU meter was moving a needle.
