You may have heard about the recently discovered Windows security vulnerability, involving WMF type graphics files. If not you can read about it at the URL below: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/912840.mspx Fortunately, there is now an unofficial patch for Windows 2000, XP, 64-bit XP and 2003 server that is being endorsed by respected security experts, which you can download via the "Download Ilfak's Temporary WMF Patch" URL on the following page: http://www.grc.com/sn/notes-020.htm I installed the patch 24 hours ago, and have not experienced any problems with it. Of course, there is no guarantee that the patch is safe, so installation is at your own risk. Please send any responses to this post, to me, off-list.
