WARNING: Don't Hit F1 in Windows If a Web Site Asks You To

Post by GD on Wed 03 Mar 2010, 6:36 pm



Microsoft has announced a scripting vunerability affecting Windows 2000, XP, and Server 2003 users using Internet Explorer. A dialog pop-up that convinces the user to hit F1, the commonly known "Help" button, could then run code on the machine, which would lead to, well, all kinds of unfortunate things. A patch will arrive, but in the meantime, let no web site direct you to call for help....
