Nasty malware
Just a heads up to all of our readers and customers. There is a nasty new piece of malware affecting all versions of Windows. A user can become infected simply viewing a web page, email or file containing a malicious image. This makes it extremely difficult for AV software to catch, if at all. I haven’t seen good fix how-to’s just yet and there aren’t patches. This thread will be updated in the comments section with links. Report from Financial Times.

Great comments from MS security strategist. A good place to start for a solid understanding of the risks and how to mitigate.
Patch available. If you need to do it manually, search for patch KB912919.
