[News] Clippy Opens Door to Hackers

Windows, IE Animations Run Amok

,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft's "cute" animations, like the infamous Office Clippy, have
| aroused more ire than grateful praise, but they didn't actually do
| any harm--until now. The part of Windows behind the animated yellow
| dog helper in Windows search, called Microsoft Agent, gives malicious
| hackers a route into your PC for spyware or viruses transmitted via
| a drive-by download.
