IE and SP2 Exploit - Miagi - 01-14-2005
Thought gwars would be up on this sp2 business :P
While its not too recent news, its funny because they knew about the exploit in IE earlier and just ignored it. Oh and not even SP2 is safe from it.

my Spybot S&D finds then once and a while and gets rid of them... and i don`t even know what they are....

An exploit is a vulnerability or "security hole" which allows an attacker to compromise your system.
A good example would be the one from irc. A link was posted, a couple people visited it using IE and the page contained an IE exploit which caused a file to be downloaded that gets started everytime window does, then automatically caused the victim to post the same url, and finally it shut everyone's pc down so that the downloaded file can execute on startup. Oh and this was only in a few seconds.
