Microsoft finds security problem with Windows XP.

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

It seems that Microsoft XP users might have a security problem, heres a quote from the site that this is on "The so-called "zero day" vulnerability disclosed by Microsoft affects a part of its software used to play video. The problem arises from the way the software interacts with Internet Explorer, which opens a hole for hackers to tunnel into." The problem is in the Active X program. It is highly advised by Microsoft to go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972890 to disable the Active X program until a patch is released.

at least i aint gotta worry about it... vista here.:yep: From what I know about this it could possibly effect vista as well. But of course the info from Microsoft is very limited.
