Some more on Flame

Flame, a virus I overviewed in my previous blog posting, has become common knowledge, and possibly even old news for some. It is for this reason that Microsoft states that it is not worried about it anymore. They have, however, released a patch fixing an exploit it used to digitally sign itself with official Microsoft certificates. It says that it is worried other viruses might also try to exploit this loop. If you have not done so, make sure to apply the latest updates to secure your computer. This update is "KB2718704" and should be applied automatically if you have that enabled.
