why is paint a security flaw?
paint is a security flaw or risk because it can open file extentions that dont exist, making it easy for people with bad intentions to spread a virus getting past anti-virus programs easly.
1. anti virus programs scan files on creation, not when they are opened
2.
code:
---------------------------
Paint
---------------------------
<file>
Paint cannot read this file.
This is not a valid bitmap file, or its format is not currently supported.
---------------------------
OK
