If you're using Windows Defender, force a Defender update RIGHT NOW!

Post by FlyingPenguin »

This is a bad one. A flaw in Defender allows a specially crafted file to own your system when it's scanned for viruses.

MS immediately fixed it when disclosed, and updates went out last night, but make sure you force an update in Defender to be sure.

Also affects Security Essentials for Win7.

Christians warn us about the anti-christ for 2,000 years, and when he shows up, they buy a bible from him.
