Exploit.Applet.ActiveXComponent
Exploits a security breach in MS Internet Explorer and Outlook - (com.ms.activeX.ActiveXComponent security vulnerability).
This security flaw gives remote scripts and HTML pages access to any ActiveX control, which is installed on a victim's computer. The remote script can gain full control of a victim's computer, including the ability to read and write files on hard disks.
Trojan programs like JS.Trojan.Seeker and JS.Trojan.Fav use this vulnerability to modify a browser's start and search pages and to add links to the "Favorites" folder of Internet Explorer.
The Microsoft company released a patch that removes the com.ms.activeX.ActiveXComponent security vulnerability. We recommend visiting http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q275/6/09.ASP and installing this patch. |
