[News] Windows Makes Films Dangerous

Malware goes to the movies

,----[ Quote ]
| On Tuesday, anti-virus firm McAfee warned Windows users that the company
| had discovered a worm, dubbed W32/Realor, actively infecting Real
| Media files. The infected video files do not contain an exploit for
| the RealOne or Real players, but a hyperlink that points to a
| malicious website. When infected files are opened, the victim is referred
| to the web ite, which attempts to compromise their computer using
| a previously patched flaw in Internet Explorer.
