F-Prot Program update 3.16e 01/04/2006
by roddy32 Jan 5, 2006 2:05AM PST
New versions of F-Prot Antivirus Windows and F-Prot Antivirus for Exchange

4 January 2006

[QUOTE]
FRISK Software has released versions 3.16e of F-Prot Antivirus for Windows and version 1.2.3 of F-Prot Antivirus for Exchange.

These newest versions of F-Prot Antivirus for Windows and F-Prot Antivirus for Exchange include a number of important bugfixes as well as providing enhanced scanning of Windows Metafile images (WMF) for embedded malware. WMF files disguised, among other things, as JPG images have increasingly been taking advantage of a recently discovered yet serious vulnerability in Windows in order to run malicious code on susceptible machines.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can allow an attacker to gain complete control over an affected computer who can then use it to send out spam e-mail or spread viruses and other malware further. A number of different exploits have a appeared over recent days and these newest versions of F-Prot Antivirus for Windows and F-Prot Antivirus for Exchange detect and delete all known exploits as well as detecting previously unknown malware attempting to take advantage of this WMF vulnerability.
