 |
|
The emergence of a new Internet virus targeting a Microsoft Windows security flaw could cause more damage than usual because the company's system for fixing the problem is so complex that many people will not bother to download it, security experts warned.
On Sept. 14, Microsoft released a patch to remedy a problem in the way the company's products process digital image files. That problem could allow attackers to take control of computers running the Windows XP operating system, Server 2003 software and Microsoft Office just by getting people to open an e-mail message or visit a Web site. Microsoft Office is a bundle of products that includes the popular Word, Excel and Outlook e-mail programs.

| What about those of us who have used alcohol to cull out the smaller, weaker, braincells, leaving us with one, single, uber braincell? Because my one braincell and I concur, we still like using XP. |
