There has been a very serious flaw discovered in, ironcally, the "Help Center" included in Windows XP.
By following a link has a special code insterted it WILL delete all the files in a folder that it links too.
A popupbox asking about some software will come up and you can anser yes/no, either way when you close this the files will be deleted.
Imagine what it will do if it says c:\*.
The link can easily be hidden on any web pages,
the odd thing is that with SP1 that came out this week the link wont work, yet as I know windows havent told anyone about this.
Everybody with XP should update as soon as possible.


If you cannot update for any unknow reason. Just rename that file, or delete it and it will provide a temporary solution to this fatal flaw in Windows XP. Since there is rumors that MS will track all serial #'s when people update, you can just do this and avoid that risk.

Peace
