Microsoft releases virus tool, but patch pending
SeattlePI | at | by Mike
Microsoft released a tool yesterday for removing a particularly pesky computer virus -- but was not yet able to offer a software patch to prevent the infection from spreading. Stephen Toulouse, a security program manager with Microsoft, could not say when the patch to thwart the virus, called "download.ject," might be completed. The virus was discovered in late June and exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser.
