Microsoft Agent Bug

Microsoft says that their Microsoft Agent software technology has a critical bug that may allow a hostile website to completely control your computer. To fall victim, you would need to visit a website that links to a malicious .ACF file. This is a Critical bug for Windows 2000 and Windows XP, and a Moderate bug for Windows Server 2003. There is information on a temporary workaround, plus links to a permanent fix, at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS06-068.mspx. If you really aren't that familiar with Microsoft Agent (I wasn't) you can learn about it at http://www.microsoft.com/msagent/default.asp.
