Official wmf patch now available

January 6, 2006 7:49 AM | | Comments (3)

I'm suprised that Microsoft have released the patch for the wmf flaw last night. They had previously announced that it was going to be made available on Tuesday. Still I guess that installing it today means that a lot of pc's will be protected before the script kiddies get to work this weekend. Unfortunately it does require a reboot (or at least it did on my xp machine)

If you downloaded the "unofficial" patch, please make sure to uninstall that before installing the Windows update. (I forgot to do that.) :(

I read and saw that too this morning. It just showed up on Windows Update. Must have been more serious than MS thought.

ron: are you sure that you have to remove the unofficial patch before applying the MS-patch? What will happen if you don't?

What's the name of the unofficial patch in "Add/Remove programs" ?
