avast! 5 related one

http://secunia.com/advisories/42134/

Well it is rated as Not Critical and more importantly, talks of 'malicious local users' so you have to have some responsibility over physical access to your system.

See image, click to expand.

It says this is in the avast! Internet Security product, so I don't know if "aswtdi.sys" is also across the 5.0.677 product range.

Did anyone say that it was ???

I see no point in posting about a vulnerability that has been patched, when Asyn is posting about a 0day vulnerability/exploit in IE.

You really do get protective about IE when someone posts a vulnerability, strange considering that this is the SECURITY WARNINGS & Notices topic. Almost like you built it, when the whole idea of this topic is to alert about security warnings and notices wherever they might be.

I guess those still running on XP need to be carefull.  ;D

Those running Windows 7 64bit and IE9 are a bit safer and have a better browser option:
IE9, FF4 Beta In Real-World Benchmark

Google Chrome on my XP Pro system is very good.  ;)

You are at it again, when are you going to learn, this has nothing to do with the original IE 0day post by Aysn you quoted and my follow up.

Vista is also effected, but I guess you didn't read all of the information Asyn posted or you would have done as I did and post the Mitigating Factors that limit the potential of this 0day exploit; rather than trying to deflect security notices on IE to other areas as is very common for you.

I don't really care if people are using win7 64bit (though some win7 users are vulnerable if they aren't using IE9 beta) and or IE 9 beta as they aren't mentioned in the 0day exploit that was posted.

Burma hit by massive net attack ahead of election

An ongoing computer attack has knocked Burma off the internet, just days ahead of its first election in 20 years.
