Cursor hole puts Windows PCs at risk

Post #1by LordFerret » 31.03.2007, 06:05

"A new security vulnerability puts Windows users at risk of serious cyberattacks, Microsoft warned late Wednesday.
The vulnerability affects all recent Windows versions, including Vista, which Microsoft has promoted heavily for its security. The operating system software is flawed in the way it handles animated cursors, Microsoft said in a security advisory.

Thanks for the info! I guess returning to my Commodore 64 is looking better and better all the time. :lol: Bill Gates did say, way back then, that 64K memory is all anyone will ever need. An estimate, that has been slightly modified :wink:
