>>  Two Serious New Windows Problems
>>
>>   Microsoft's VML Security Advisory - "Vulnerability in Vector Markup
>> Language Could Allow Remote Code Execution." This advisory provides a
>> general overview of the problem and, fortunately, also provides a robust
>> interim work-around to disable Windows' and IE's VML parsing. This can 
>> and
>> should be used until Microsoft has repaired the buffer overrun in the
>> VGX.DLL VML parser that is being actively exploited on the Internet.
>>   How to temporarily protect your system:
>> As detailed in Microsoft's VML security advisory (see link above), you 
>> can
>> quickly, easily, and safely protect your system from possible VML
>> exploitation by "unregistering" the defective DLL. The system will no
>> longer be able to render web-based vector markup language graphics, but
>> you won't notice any difference since few sites use VML for benign
>> purposes.
>> Simply copy this command from this page (highlight the entire line then
>> type Ctrl-C to Copy it into the clipboard), then open the "Run..." dialog
>> by pressing your system's Start button and choosing "Run..." Press
>> "Backspace" to remove anything that might already be in the "Open" field,
>> then type "Ctrl-V" to paste the command into the field. Press "OK" to
>> execute the command and you should receive a dialog confirming that the
>> VGX.DLL file has been "unregistered" ...
>>
>>
>> regsvr32 -u "%CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\VGX\vgx.dll"
>> Please tell your family and friends and the word. Since this newly
>> discovered Windows VML defect is being actively exploited by thousands of
>> web sites to install malware, and since viewing malicious eMail with many
>> versions of Outlook will also cause this to occur, EVERY Windows user is 
>> a
>> potential victim. Please help people to protect themselves.
>>   How to "re-register" the VGX.DLL:
>> Once Microsoft has repaired this defect, which should happen no later 
>> than
>> the second Tuesday in October (Oct. 10th) - and after you have applied
>> those October security updates - you should re-register the repaired
>> VGX.DLL file by repeating the steps above, but using a command without 
>> the
>> "-u" argument, as follows:
>>
>>
>> regsvr32 "%CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\VGX\vgx.dll"
>> At that time, please also remind anyone you may have helped to protect
>> themselves through un-registering the DLL to re-register it AFTER they
>> have updated their system with the current October patches.
>>   Windows 2000 Compressed File Corruption
>> . . . or as Microsoft's official update page is titled: "Compressed files
>> that are larger than 4 kilobytes may be corrupted when you create or
>> update the files." A serious "regression" error was introduced into last
>> month's (August 2006) security patches for Windows 2000 systems. This
>> error can cause corruption of NTFS-compressed files on systems that have
>> had security update 920958 (MS06-049) applied.
>>
>> If you are using Windows 2000 (any flavor) and keeping it current with
>> monthly security patches, you should IMMEDIATELY apply this patch to cure
>> the error that was introduced in August's security update:
>>
>> Obtain the Windows2000-KB925308-x86-ENU.EXE package now.
>>
>> And, again, please inform anyone you know, who is using Windows 2000,
>> about this critical issue.
