    Beat Windows to the Update

    A critical flaw in ActiveX in IE can easily allow hackers to access your windows machine. Update it ASAP by running the registry file:
    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{20*EA564-A6F6-**D*-8**D-00C04FB6BD*6}]
    "Compatibility Flags"=dword:00000400
    Without the updated value you can be hacked by simply reading an email or visiting a webpage. More information can be found at [url=http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/46660*]www.kb.cert.org[/url]

    I use Firefox, so I = safe

    Is there anywhere explaining how this flaw can be exploited?

    EDIT: Nvm, found out how to on milw0rm. This is less than a week old, so I may still have time to have fun

    I think it would be kind of funny to let someone hack into my XP install, then to open up notepad to tell them that they only hacked into my VM, and the joke's on them.
