Some of you may have heard about the high security alert for computers that has been announced.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec...ry/912840.mspx
which is written in MS tech speak.
1. MS security patch is due to be released week of Jan 10th.
2. Until you download and install that patch do not open any Email attachment that has the 'dot extension' of wmf. WMF is a type of graphic file used in windows and stands for Windows Meta File. The most common graphic file format is .jpg, which as far as I know is not affected.
3. It is possiable a virus (yet to be discovered) could infecte your computer by opening a .wmf file from an internet web site. Until the patch is released, and System Admin's patch their Windows based Servers, you should be very careful about opening a *.wmf file.
