  Win-XP Help Center request wipes your HD
Time: 09:51 EST/14:51 GMT | News Source: The Register | Posted By: Byron Hinson

A malicious Win-XP Help Center request can easily and silently delete the contents of any directory on your machine, we've discovered. A good writeup in English can be found here, thanks to Mike at Speculation.org who did some tinkering after noticing a tip on a BBS. The earliest mention I've found comes from VSAntivirus, but the page, unfortunately, is en español. Whether they were the first to discover it or not I can't tell but there are some handy screen shots in their bulletin.
