[OT] I got infected by a WMF File

[Tom Speirs]

Hey,

I just got infected by a WMF file. It installed about 5-6 startup apps on my system.

It was on my laptop too, and I have no anti stuff on here.

If it happens to anyone else - A real good way to fix stuff, is just do a system restore. It wont change your documents, but restores the registry to how it was.

Fixed it for me in about 5 minutes. Although I was panicking a little

Eh? A WMF file? Are you sure? Is there some sort of buffer overflow issue with Windows Media Player or something? Seems a little strange.
