the chairman at the computer science department at james madison university told me that if i want to keep my system secure, i should disconnect it from the network, power it down, and lock it in a vault. i will leave you to your security issues, but this is off topic. the topic is: where can i get the 980396 bluetooth hotfix ? there aren't any schools using win 7, that have a wsus server. the threat of wasting my time looking for a file to patch my computer is more real than a theoretical hypothetical exploit
