Yeah, I read that on a security site ... MaCrapie show an "exploit" of it on a video (youtube
HERE ) no less ... got to laugh though, they purposely dragged the exploit onto the desktop, and sure enough, Vista threw a wobbler.
Wonder why they did that ... maybe to prove their AV program really is crap and could not detect it, or are they still peeved at MS.
There has been some crap coming out of MaCrapie, not just their poor excuse for a security program.
Oh, and the "exploit" has been around since Win95, if was "patched" some time later ... looks like someone at MS inadvertently un-patched it. oops.
In order for this attack to be carried out, a user must either visit a Web site that contains a Web page that is used to exploit the vulnerability or view a specially crafted e-mail message or email attachment sent to them by an attacker.
So, you know the score, be on your guard.

No disrespect to you Feckit, but I did not think it warranted a post ...
