 | | Thursday, December 29, 2005: A new Trojan horse program recently infected PCs exploiting a hole in Windows systems to sneak onto computers, then dropping adware or spyware or turning them into zombies, says several Internet security companies. |
 | | The Trojan, dubbed Exploit - WMF (Windows Meta File), was rated a category 2 level risk, meaning it had the potential to continue to spread, said Dave Cole, director of security response at Symantec. |
 | | Microsoft is investigating in the threat and is likely to take the appropriate action to protect customers, which may include providing a fix through the monthly release process or issuing a security advisory, depending on customer needs. |
