Shadows In Motion

There’s a new Windows XP exploit in the wild that will infect computers that are fully patched.  Go here to read about it:  http://sunbeltblog.blogspot.com/2005/12/new-exploit-blows-by-fully-patched.html

To quote the linked page above:

Any application that automatically displays a WMF image will cause the user’s machines to get infected. This includes older versions of Firefox, current versions of Opera, Outlook and all current version of Internet Explorer on all versions of Windows.

Apparently, disabling the Windows Fax viewer will protect you from this exploit.  Links for this can be found in this message thread on digg.com.
