Well, if you look at the CNN Headline News, they have stated that MS has 
a patch for this virus, but wanted to charge some users for it.  The 
on-air comment seems to say that since MS had the patch, they should 
have sent it out to ALL MS Windows users.  Plus, it the patch was 
installed, most computers would not have been infected.

Fro me, I use Linux so I do not have the security problems as MS Windows 
users.  I do have Win10, but rarely use it.  Most times I just go to the 
Win 10 partition to run the update app.
