| They found that a fully patched Windows XP system running SP2 with IE6 or IE7
| and Windows Media Player 9 will open any page in IE, even if the user's

| that even when running other browsers that are more secure, all a user has to
| do is open a media file to expose the computer to all IE vulnerabilities.
