Newest virus, courtesy of Hackers. Aparently they've created a source code that infects you if you view, yes, if you VIEW, not even click, just load, a picture or site that is infected. It can be any site, any pic, and then you're in trouble. Microsoft have set a release date for a fix on the 10th. In the meantime there's an unofficial fix. Read it here:

Go FireFox! :-D. Meh, I'm not worried, I'm not worried about the one set to come out on the 5th-6th either, I don't know why it's getting all this media attention, it's not like it's any different than the 200 others that get released each month...

Well I don't know... If Microsoft is actualy making a full fledged effort to get rid of it, it's gotta be pretty serius. Also, FireFox probably won't save you...

This is the one they mean , and ive already also posted a (temporary) fix there.

And @Space , this flaw effects windows , not I.E.

Was just checking
Can never be too safe/warned about these pests... Wish people didn't think about ways to ruin other people's lives... -sigh-

Microsoft just released an official patch:

Security Update for Windows XP (KB912919)



Go get it now at windows update.

Nice work Joe
