or more accurately, a trojan horse.
Exposure isn't huge .. yet .. but it can be ugly if you get it. It messes with TCP/IP settings and the registry.
The patch is for I.E., all versions, is only 2 meg and installs in a flash. Go ahead and put it on if you tend to worry about these things. I did, and I lost 30 lbs. in the first week!
I also rebooted (like you have to for most of these fixes) and I'm still here.
On the link below, go down one page and find Download Locations. You'll want the first location unless you're running a server.

Yeah, Perv, I average about three attempts a week to access my computer by the backdoor. I have an autoupder repair kit, and I have software to identify and trace them. The last one was from London, and the one before that was from Brazil. Up until then San Francisco was the premier location for trolls.
