Greetings All

Please follow the below instructions.

1. Click on the Start button on the taskbar.
2. Click on Run...
3. Type "regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll" to disable.
4. Click ok when the change dialog appears.

there is a bug in windows which means your pc is hackable and there is no fix for it been released yet. this will fix it - it removes your ability to view wmf files online for now - that is how they hack in. when windows releases an update, you can then reenable it

This hack is exploitable in ALL browsers running on windows inc. Firefox etc so PLEASE run this to protect yourself online.

Update: Microsoft have now accepted there is a problem: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/912840.mspx

A friend once told me that Mac's don't get a "bug" cause there are so few of us that it ain't worth it to the people who do that nasty stuff....to window folks! :D

Hey Cassy,

I hope you have a Happy New Year's also. I'll be toasting to you, so you make sure to get up in the middle of the night and toast back:lol

Just teasing, but since I do have a glass of wine now, I'll just toast to you right now. "May your New Year bring you health, happiness and two good knees":D

Love to you, and your friend.
