Experts: Windows 7 at risk from legacy flaw

,----[ Quote ]
| For example, malicious code writers could name a 'virus.exe' file
| as 'virus.txt.exe' or 'virus.jpg.exe', he said. Windows Explorer would then
| hide the .exe part of the filename, meaning that the user would only
| see 'virus.txt' or 'virus.jpg'. Additionally, virus writers would change the
| icon displayed with the file in Windows Explorer so it looked like the icon
| of a text file or an image. Users might then click on the disguised file.
