The Security Mentor

A lot of security problems these days make you say "so what!" at first glance. But put them together with other problems and things get really bad.

Outlook Express just turned up with one of those problems that sounds like a non-issue. It turns out that someone can send you mail with a picture that gets shown even if you don't want it to be shown.

By itself that's not a big deal, and there isn't a fix yet anyway. But this does mean you should make sure you've run Windows Update recently, because of the other bug that allowed a maliciously built image file to take over your computer when you viewed it.
