The software giant is investigating reports that the way Windows handles alternatives to the traditional arrow cursor can leave PCs open to attack.
By booby-trapping a website or e-mail attachment with code that exploits the flaw, malicious hackers could hijack a Windows PC.
There appears to be another Windows vulnerability, I believe Microsoft have acknowledged it, so there may be security patches for the second week in April. These issues remain the cost of doing business with the windows platform, let’s move on, no criticism/debate is required.
