Yeah, the wiring in this house has several generations of wire in it.
One time I put in a ceiling fan and had to dig into the second floor
bedroom to access the living room ceiling underneath for power,
I found the power to the light in the living room was honest to god
19th or very early 20th century, separate CLOTH insulated wires
where holes drilled foot long fiberglass shaft with the generator inside the
high voltage section. Did the job.

Last week was last year. Also the definitions for NOD32 are always among the first to be updated.

Here is the NOD32 site: http://www.nod32.ch/en/index.php

Notice on the left:

"WMF Vulnerability
30.12.2005 [Last year]
With a specially crafted wmf file an attacker can run arbitrary code on a user's system - a patch from Microsoft is not yet avail ...[text shortened]... available from Microsoft - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/912840.mspx."

I read about the vulnerability of image files in Windows about 6 - 8 months ago. Took the bastards long enough to learn how to exploit it.

Don't you find it odd that there are so many thousands upon thousands of viruses yet there are so few virus writers in prison?
