There is a new Windows vulnerability... I know, what else is new. Anyways there is no patch yet for MS or Nortal so it is a concern.

Fix: Start > Run: regsvr32 -u %windir%\system32\shimgvw.dll

Unregister this dll. It is a metafile rendering com file.

Also you should disable images from any webmail you use and turn off the preview pane in OL or whatever email program you use. Just showing the image is enough.

Download this file. Run the checker to see if you are vulnerable, then run the patch to protect your PC. This patch is unofficial, but was verified by Nortan. MS should be releasing a patch today through windows update.
