Microsoft Confirms Zero-Day ''Shortcut'' Exploit

[Guest]

I already had WebClient disabled - not really useful unless you are a web designer, iirc. Blackviper.com has it as disabled on every tweak setting. It is disabled on our 2k3 servers in our Citrix farm as well. I may make it GP domain wide.

I do not allow anybody to run their USB drives on my PC without permission.Even then, I perform a virus scan before opening the drive.

Read this a couple days ago and that site ended with the best thing to do is use a Linux rig to open USB drives. LOL
Meanwhile my gaming rig (Win 7 64) still is doing weird things sometimes, no different than all the other Winblows versions I have used in the past years.

Lol I like to see these kinda new: prove you are not safer with vista/win7 than with xp....

Xp is still THA best os around !!!

I don't let anyone plug their USB drive (aside from two of my friends) which should secure myself from this attack.
