techrecoverySP2 is pretty much swiss cheese:
Read it and weep
Apparently an unpatched hole in IE can let a site modify the WMI repository. The article translates this as spoofing the Security Center status, but while you're at it, why not just turn off the firewall and make it look like it's still on? Both SC and Firewall are controlled by WMI.
Check out this screenshot. No, it's not faked, but it sure is funny.
Yet another hole lets an .exe be placed on the hard drive with no warning. I love how Microsoft states the user "must be running as an administrator" to be vulnerable. WHAT XP HOME USER ISN'T???
Firefox anyone?
Oh yeah, and apparently you can get a virus from a Winamp skin. Shocking.
