Windows .ANI Problem Surfaced Two Years Ago 110
An anonymous reader writes "There's a new twist to the tale of Windows .ANI exploit, that's been in the news all week (including when a spam campaign used the teaser of nude Britney Spears pictures to lure people to malicious sites). InformationWeek reports the Windows .ANI bug at issue first surfaced — and was patched — two years ago, in early 2005. 'If they had simply looked for other references for the same piece of code when they originally dealt with it a few years ago, they would have found this and patched it in 2005,' says Craig Schmugar of McAfee. 'It would have saved a whole lot of people a lot of time, money and effort.' Microsoft claims this .ANI vulnerability is different from the old, but beyond that they're not talking."

Talk about an anti-virus.
If all attempts to hijack my machine involved using her as a lure, I'd uninstall AVP in a heartbeat; you couldn't pay me to see her nude.

Steve, leave the slashdot editors alone. If you need to blow off steam, go throw a chair or something.
