WMF Exploit Spreading Through Referer Spam - Confirmed!

Link: http://us.mcafee.com/virusInfo/default.asp?id=description&virus_k=137760

Ok, so I've been commenting lately about how the referer spammers are attempting to use blogs around the world to spread virii in order to possibly take over your computer remotely. Turns out, I was right and have confirmation of it. My virus scanner found this today in my temporary files. I never ran the file and my machine has been updated to not be suseptible to this virus, so I am safe, but there are many who arent. See the link for this blog for info on the virus.

cyber-search.biz is spreading this virus intentially all over the Internet! Either that or they've been compromised themself by someone else to spread this virus unknowingly.

Dannothis is nasty to get rid of, you start getting ActiveX errors when you open folders see sys00.exe for what it does to the registry. get this out of your windows directory and registry.
