Microsoft issues long-awaited WMP fix
eWeek | at | by Mike
Microsoft over the weekend pushed out an update for its flagship Windows Media Player to provide protection from a well-known spyware infection threat.
The update comes more than three months after Microsoft promised a fix and brings an end to an episode that raised questions about the company's handling of a legitimate security threat to customers.
In a knowledge base article that was updated over the weekend, Microsoft said the new version of WMP would block the redirection of users to rogue Web sites via the DRM mechanism.
