By simply simply viewing a record or opening a file, some Windows users may well be opening up their very own PCs to hackers

A brand new vulnerability found in Microsoft’s Windows operating system can easily potentially open up your personal computer to remote attackers. Over compromising the data within just your PC, hackers can easily also introduce malware in the vulnerable machines to possibly enlist them inadvertently in criminal botnet bands.

The newly found pest is particularly dangerous since it can be brought on by just viewing a folder containing an exclusively constructed image thumbnail, or beginning up a malicious visual file which is often embedded in any Office document. The bug exists inside the Windows graphics rendering engine, and although Microsoft features acknowledged the issue, zero fix has yet recently been released. Users of Home windows XP, Windows Vista, Home windows Server 2003, and Glass windows Server 2008 are damaged by the bug. Glass windows 7 and Windows Hardware 2008 R2, the newest variations of Windows for Computers and servers respectively, will be not affected.
