Suffice to say, if you don't want 10minutes of trouble using your stupid shetto winxp hacking skills, don't download wmf_exp.wmf.

You see, you don't even have to open it if for your computer to get the AIDS.
Just by selecting the file in any dialogue is enough to crash explorer.exe, and if you don't have some sort of firewall to check unauth connections for you, downloads something that I would assume to be a trojan or whatever.

this is why I don't even bother patching my system, since the update update lol people are getting hit with it as well, and skill with OS stuff through run or prompt > relying on MS updates and living in (more) ignorance

the file ended up being hex edit macro'd out of existance btw :)

and anyway, this is why I use the internet, to find out about cool and exciting new things every other day! disassembling blaster and lovebug and stuff and following links in IRC is part of the thrill of internet for a coder anyway
