Re: Another WinFixer infiltration...this time on www.wfaa.com
How can you - or anyone else - get infected by simply visiting a website? You must be using unpatched old browsers. I tryed to infect my system with Winfixer...just for fun...but I failed. I would have had to download and run .exe file to get infected.

| I looked around at hxxp://www.wfaa.com/localnews/investigates/ for a bit and didn't see anything, I used IE7 BTW. For security I'm running WinXP SP2 (all patches), NOD security suite beta, SandBoxIE, and IE-SPYAD. The only ugly thing I found at that site was the redirect "become a member" page. |

Only days after Apple released Mac OS X 10.4.10, it has also released Security Update 2007-006.
