Windows users are facing the new year with a major virus threat hanging over their heads, reports have claimed. Virus writers have discovered a new flaw in the operating system that could leave its users open to spyware and viruses. Computers can be infected through programmes inserted into image files, without requiring the user to download any files. Simply viewing a web page or e-mail that contains an infected image is enough to release the virus into the machine. The exploit can be used to install malicious programming on the PC. | ||
