Theres a new vulnerability not patched by microsoft. It affects all versions of windows.
It doesnt matter if you use firefox internet explorer, safari or opera browsers.
You can be infected viewing a web page, reading an email or looking at an infected file on your computer. Antivirus helps some (updating it is always good).
Researchers say attackers use the entry point to install hidden programs that can launch pop-up ads or steal passwords and other sensitive information.

Yes .... it is that serious. You can read about it here


Unregister the DLL:

• Click Start, click Run,
  type "regsvr32 -u%windir%\system32\shimgvw.dll"
  (without the quotation marks), and then click OK.


• A dialog box appears to confirm that the un-registration process has succeeded. Click OK to close the dialog box.

Then download this patch:

Microsoft has not yet released a patch. An unofficial patch was made available by Ilfak Guilfanov. Our own Tom Liston reviewed the patch and we tested it. The reviewed and tested version is available here (now at v1.3, MD5: 14d8c937d97572deb9cb07297a87e62a), PGP signature (signed with ISC key) here. THANKS to Ilfak Guilfanov for providing the patch!!

Our current "best practice" recommendation is to both unregister the DLL and to use the unofficial patch.

After you reboot , download and run the vulnerability checker.

So here's the question that every Democrat running for any office must answer:

wow ... gotta read this. Mostly about voting issues in the US (which sound a little tinfoil-hatish at first, until you read the Diebold stuff) but has links to an article in The Financial Times about American foreign policy with quotes like this:

"Under Mr Bush's presidency a new international community has begun to emerge but, rather than being aligned with the US, it is counterposed to it."

From Crooks and Liars
"I was writing a speech on welfare reform, and the president looks at it and says, "OK, I'll go with it, but this is not going to get covered. Leak it as far an wide as you can beforehand. Maybe we'll get something in the paper." And so I go back to my office and I get a call from a reporter, and he wants to know about foreign affairs or something, and I said, "Hey, you want a leak? I'll tell you what the president will say tomorrow about welfare reform." And he took it down and wrote a little story about it. But the FBI was illegally tapping his phone at the time, and so they hear a White House speechwriter say, "Hey, you want a leak?" And so they tapped my phone, and for six months, every home phone call I got was tapped. I didn't like that. And when it finally broke--it did me a lot of good at the time, frankly, because then I was on the right side--but it told me how easy it was to just take somebody who is not really suspected of anything for any good reason and listen to every conversation in his home--you know, my wife talking to her doctor, my--everything."

million dollar web page

4 months ago in August, a college student in England decides to raise money for school. He takes his home page, divides it into a million pixels, and sells pixels for $1 each in groups of 100. After selling $1000 worth, he starts to issue press releases. Large corporations buy space and find its a great use of their advertising dollar. He's out of pixels, a million dollars richer, and hes getting job offers and approached by investors.
