I've already had an encounter with the .wmf file, it downloaded and installed several spywares and fake anti-virus programs onto my computer. A little pop-up that looked like a windows update button appeared on my task bar, and it said something about my computer being infected, and that it needs to install the newest up-to-date anti malware program. I tried to X it out, but missed, and it installed "SpyAxe 3.0" on my computer.. and I had great difficulty removing it.

If you get exploited by the WMF file, I suggest looking at the processes running, and looking for abnormal ones and researching them. If you find them to be spyware, etc, then search google.com for ways to remove them.

The process running on my computer was mssearchnet.exe, and I searched and found a way to do it. If you need any help removing your spyware, PM me, or post in this topic for more help smile.gif.

I've encountered the .wmf file also. It was downloaded into my temp directory, it managed to open a windows fax viewer window but was blocked at that point by my anti-virus.

Some .wmf files indeed contain virus inside their bytecodes. But the exploit in .wmf format is more than just capable of storing viruses inside them. It's an exploit that cannot be fixed. So virus writers now know of this exploit, and certainly uses them to intrude your data. If that's the case, and since this exploit cannot be solved, it will be undetectable by firewalls and antivirus softwares. Probably that ones that you had encountered were indeed natural virus files that were not based on that exploit. It will be even more damaging with its based on the exploit.

How fast can I say (without gleaming to much)

Am I glad I have a Mac or what? The number of viruses, sober or drunk, trojan horses and what-nots on a Mac are countable on one hand.

Sorry, for all you guys with you lowly PC's...

my friend had experienced this. i removed it using antispyware. he said that he went on a porn site and probably some pic on it was downloaded on the computer. he had one of those fake errors but when he clicked on the box, he said that his desktop appearance changed, giving him a link to a site where u can find antispyware apps (sites that gave u more spyware). he also said that when he opened IE, there was an error message saying that he was infected and that somebody was trying to gain access to his computer. if you find any of these signs, you are infected! but there is a security patch now, thank god for that.

thanks moogie. smile.gif

and to see how serious this is, read this: even LINUX/BSD is vulnerable! tongue.gif that is for people running WINE, etc. on their boxes.

All applications launched inside Wine, Cedega, or Cross-Over Office are technically still exploitable. Wine runs on most x86 platforms, including Linux and the various BSDs.

According to Microsoft, Win98/Win98SE does not have the same problem so there will be no patch for it.

Microsoft still offers some support for Win98SE on a paid basis. Hotfixes and patches are no longer available as of June 2003. Self-help support is still available for Win98SE on the Microsoft website until June 30, 2007.

Critical security updates for Win98SE are available until June 30/06 from the Windows Update site.
