How Serious Is the New Windows Virus?
read this today:
Pretty serious, but it's not end of the world stuff. Lucky for us a white knight came along with an excellent interim solution.
Depending on where you look, most people are either running in circles hysterically or ho-humming the Windows WMF vulnerability.
It does have some of the earmarks of a nasty situation. For one thing, if you're running Windows—any version—you're vulnerable. Even the 1990 version of Windows 3.0 is vulnerable!
While you were out partying this weekend I was reading security discussion lists and testing malware (yes, I know, my wife wants me to seek help for this problem too). Some respected people out there think this is one of the all-time bad ones.
