As we blogged earlier, Microsoft released Patches for critical security vulnerabilities for example in the Media Encoder ActiveX module on the September Black Tuesday. In the meantime there are proof-of-concept exploits for that particular vulnerability available in the wild. It won’t take long until we see real world websites exploiting those holes to infect users with malware. If you haven’t installed the Updates yet, now would be the right time to do so!
