When the file is opened,\u00a0it automatically launches a page on Internet Explorer that contains an ActiveX control. It then downloads malware onto the victim\u2019s computer, which can be used for all sorts of things.<\/p>\n<p>When the issue was first reported, we could only offer to be careful what you download. However, we can recommend updating your Windows PC to the latest version to fix this exploit.<\/p>\n<p>As part of Microsoft\u2019s Patch Tuesday, the company fixed a total of 66 security flaws, which is always welcomed. The first significant issue is mentioned above, but it also fixes\u00a0two remote code execution vulnerabilities, the WLAN AutoConfig Service and Open Management Infrastructure.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_Wait_to_Update\"><\/span>Don\u2019t Wait to Update!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re using Windows, you need to download these updates to fix the critical security holes. Of course, you should still be careful when downloading files from unknown sources, but at least with this patch, you can rest easy knowing a gaping hole in your PC\u2019s security has been closed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>What Is Patch Tuesday for Windows, and When Is It?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
