"Security by Microsoft" -- Hole in MS Media DRM allows rogue media files to trigger the download of popups, installation of adware, etc.
Damn that is seriously evil. I'm trying very hard to not sound like a know-it-all, but why would anyone whose work does not dictate it use Windows at this point? Maybe being a zombie frees you from legal liability? ("Yes your honor, I know what they found on my computer, but it's a windows machine, anyone could have put those files there.")
Note that this exploit effects even SP2 updated machines. There is no escape.
