MouseTrap: Does Your Computer have MICE?
MouseTrap: Does Your Computer have MICE?
Submitted by Dennis Faas on Sat, 01/21/2006 - 08:00
You may have recently heard about the Windows Metafile vulnerability. Steve Gibson at GRC.com has written the definitive tool to detect if your system is still at risk. He calls this vulnerability "Metafile Image Code Execution" or "MICE" and he calls his detection tool, "MouseTrap".
Do you still have MICE? Most of you are already protected by a Windows Update. Even so, I recommend you download and run MouseTrap to be certain that your computer doesn't have MICE. If the MouseTrap shows you do have MICE, Steve's article on the WMF page contains tips on how to get rid of your little rodents.
