    Hey everyone,

    As most of you know, once a week I send out the Focus-MS newsletter. This
    newsletter contains a summary of Microsoft-related security news and
    information from the past week, including a brief description of newly
    discovered Microsoft-related vulnerabilities.

    It seems that the description of one of these vulnerabilities in this
    week's newsletter also contained sample proof-of-concept code.
    Unfortunately, this proof-of-concept code may in some cases be detected by
    antivirus products. The vulnerability in question is described at
    <http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/9658>.

    Let me assure you, there is not a virus in these messages and they are not
    infected in any way. Sorry for any confusion/problems/concerns this may
    have caused. If you have any further questions or comments, please feel
    free to send them to me directly.

    Cheers,

    Marc Fossi
