"People using Windows computers were unprotected against new viruses for 56 days this year, research shows."

I always figured that people using Windows computers were unprotected from viruses for twenty years.

The Meta File bug is suffered by several Windows versions

Users may have to wait another week for Microsoft to finish fixing a serious bug in the Windows operating system.

Discovered on 27 December, the bug helps hijack PCs if users visit booby-trapped websites or open e-mail attachments loaded with exploit code.

Microsoft said it hoped to have its fix for the bug available by 10 January.
