Product Description:

This update resolves the "Domain Account Lockout" security vulnerability in Windows 2000 and is discussed in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS00-089. Download now to ensure that the Account Lockout Policy helps prevent unauthorized access to the computers in your network.

Under very specific conditions, a malicious user can try repeatedly to guess an account password, even if the domain administrator has set the Account Lockout Policy to disable the account after a specified number of attempts to access it.

A number of factors limit the scope of this vulnerability:

This vulnerability affects only computers running Windows 2000 on a non-Windows 2000 domain. Stand-alone Windows 2000 computers and Windows 2000 computers on a Windows 2000 domain are not vulnerable.

A password-guessing attack is restricted to domain accounts that have cached the logon credentials of an authorized user.

If a malicious user guesses the correct password, he or she can use it only to log on to the local computer. The domain Account Lockout Policy still prevents a domain controller from authenticating an unauthorized user and it prevents a malicious user from accessing other computers in the domain using the guessed password.
For more information about this vulnerability, read Microsoft Security Bulletin MS00-089. This update applies to Windows 2000 Professional, Service Pack 1, Windows 2000 without Service Pack 1 is not affected by this vulnerability.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

Windows XP

i really must say i'm *censored*ed with version 1.1.3! installed it today and crashes every hour... horrible. all other versions before ran always stable and no other software makes problems on my computer. i'm running windows2000 up to date (all patches + service packs, no firewall software like zone alarm - only hardware firewall).
cannot recommend it to other users! :-(

if anybody had this problem and got it solved please let me know!!!

large files. Dial-up users can actually download 700mb DivX movies. It's fully resumable. You can drop offline to use the phone or whatnot, come back on and it'll pick up where it left off, downloading from many users at once. Don't bother for small files like MP3 though. The Donkey doesn't transfer them worth a damn. But big files... Ooooh yeah! :)
