twit.tv — The first is a zero day exploit that affects Internet Explorer (and Outlook) even on fully patched copies of Windows XP. The second is a file corruption bug in Windows 2000 introduced by a Microsoft patch. Steve Gibson has fixes for both in his Security Now podcast, plus an interview with the fellow who discovered the VWL exploti.

The flaw is windows itself, they need to scrap the kernal and build a REAL OS from ground up. This hodge podge piece mealed OS called windows just wont cut it in the future

Ya...whatever happened to good old fashioned text articles? That summary posted here alone tells me more than the first 3 minutes of the mp3...then I got annoyed at all the stupid rambling and ads. (Yes, it's an mp3. It's people talking to each other. Gah.)

They said it checks all versions of IE and Firefox and pinpoints the exploits of your version.

I love how you snuck in that Limewire plug in there for absolutely no reason. You're about as helpful as that Buy-a-Mac troll. I bet you even really do have a black turtle neck, you swine!

Unfortunately simpley saying Linux or mac methods are better doesn't cut it.(Although open source is abolutely unbeatable!)As far as fixing things goes... MS has way more code to manage. Maybe it's bloated... but you can't ignore that they have so many things on the go at the same time it's rediculously hard to change things and garuntee it wont break other things.I really think that a lot of people underestimate this difficulty, which all large software companies have to deal with.

Good lord, not Steve "the hack" Gibson again. This guy's a media whore. Please, never refer to him as a "security expert".

So IE is exploitable? Who's really going to be exploited? I mean come on, who doesn't use Firefox or Opera now days? :P
