Well it finally happened. Today (and away from the regular patching schedule) Microsoft posted a security patch for Windows Vista. This is dealing with the animated cursor attack that started on Friday. At first it was thought that Vista was protected due to IE7 and protected mode. Turns out though that this only partially protects the user (much better than XP). Update your systems ASAP and you can read more on the security bulletin here:

If you don’t have the auto update icon. Go to help and support, select Windows update and trigger it to look for required updates. Alternatively the patch can be downloaded above.
