Default Malware attacks AntiSpyware Beta Program

I thought people would enjoy commenting about recent secuity developments.
Here is the link to PC World that explains how malware is now attacking
Banking sites.

The good news is... if you have Windows Updates up-to-date - I'm only
speaking of the Critical Updates - then this new exploit can't touch you.
Microsoft released the fix one day before the exploit hit.
