Re: Microsoft Security Advisory (935423) Vulnerability in Window
Thee is a worm now propogating from China using the exploit code.
Kaspersky protects against it. I haven't heard about any other AV vendors protecting yet.

Is this what you are talking about?

| No, I am talking about the new WORM not the Trojan that the Chinese Internet Security Response Team is saying is being seen in China. I gave the link to the CISRT site but for those suspicious of it, I got the link both from GRC News groups and from »www.websense.com/securitylabs/al···rtID=763 |

| It's a trojan. No matter the alternate flavours of site reference. OK, someone link an actual site; without the http [So others don't get infected].
I happily took care of worms and virus activity on the fly; until it was no longer fun [Large numbers]. I still don't have a complete grip on root kits, but I do on Trojans, malware, spyware and viruses.
The bottom line is this is no more extreme than anything else. Provided locked sites are not involved, I still don't have a real problem with this threat.
On the whole this is still a surfing habit issue. |

| I don't think that Websense would provide a link to an infected site. If they did and Fx turns out to be vulnerable then I guess I got infected (as I have not applied the temporary patch).
Yes, it is a TROJAN, but there is a WORM now also that is playing off the TROJAN. Maybe I am just not explaining it well. |

| It's a Trojan. I would like to get a link though, but not something that would infect others; meaning leave the http out.
I don't have a problem going to bad sites, though that's not my normal habit. My habits are simple. Based on research, I don't go to marginal sites; sometimes it becomes necessary  |
