O.P. Shocked  WMF expolit now at MSN Messenger's door
quote:
You may of heard of one of the biggest security flaw ever found in Windows known as the WMF exploit has now reached our world of MSN Messenger says Kaspersky Labs, using Christmas as a con via sending a link called xmas-2006 FUNNY.jpg". across multiple websites.

This is important around now many of these will be popping up, be very careful of what you view and make sure you can trust links and downloads your contacts may send you

The wmf file embedded into the .jpg as an html file which will download and execute a .vbs file, which in turn will become an Sdbot. The IRC bot is known as Backdoor.Win32.SdBot.gen by KAV and as reported earlier this week the latest MSN Messenger virus known as Kelveir is responsible but as a new clever variant and we may expect a string of these to come. The believed perpetrators are thought-out to be CyberCrimals in the UK.

I just wrote up this for my site as i think it is extemtly important thus should be made sticky i honestly would fall for this.
