Even having Service Pack 2 and all Microsoft security patches and updates provides no protection. This vulnerability enables hackers to install and run any program code they want on your PC -- all you have to do is display a WMF graphics file in a browser or any other program. This means that your computer can get infected just by visiting a website and displaying an image (WMFs an easily be hidden as JPGs, GIFs or other formats). This vulnerability is NOT restricted to Internet Explorer or any one program. ANY browser and ANY program that can display a WMF file can infect your computer. Unbelievable but true: Microsoft has admitted the problem but say they are not going to release a fix until next Tuesday, together with their regular patches. ASHAMPOO HAS A SOLUTION NOW! We have created a fix for the WMF vulnerability and all users can download it now FREE to protect their computers against this extremely serious hazard.

Tarun Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Microsoft has already released a fix. I think it'd be better to get that one. It's on Microsoft Windows Update right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad that they patched it though. Requires a reboot.
