What they leave out...

that even if your unpatched... this is detectable and blockable by virus scanners... in particular my gf has a pirated copy so i had to make sure but norton does block this... so they only way you can be vulnerable is by not having a updated computer or updated virus scanner. and if you dont well... arent you just waiting for something bad to happen to your computer?

When covering virus/trojan news, I would like to see links/information on

1. How to detect infected jpgs, viruses, trojans;
2. How to remove the virus or trojan from your system; and
3. Links to sites with more detailed information or virus software homepages.

Thanks
