On Wednesday Microsoft released Security Bulletin MS06-015 (KB908531) In this release it addressed a vulnerability in Windows Explorer which could allow remote code execution. In general this means a hacker might gain remote control of your computer through a loophole in the Windows Operating System. In doing so they could spread a virus or Trojan to other systems on your network or even across the internet. If you notice a slow down in saving your documents in Office or opening your web browser to access the internet you might be having this problem. This problem will start to occur after a restart or first power up from Windows Update. The problem we are facing is that this fix installed a file called VERCLSID.EXE which can be found in the Windows\System32 directory. You can navigate to this file using Windows Explorer and clicking on your C: drive. You can tell if you have this problem if the file in question is running in the Task Manager. Most of the time you shall see 1 or even more, personally have seen 15 running at once, located in the Processes tab. Microsoft hasn’t released a patch to fix this problem yet, but we here at Kirkham Systems have a work around for this problem. You can uninstall the fix. Using Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel navigate to the KB908531 fix and click add/remove. This should fix the issue till Microsoft releases a new fix. If you are still experiencing problems contact us here at Kirkham Systems and I’m sure one of our staff members can help you. You may call us at (479) 478 3032 or 3000 Old Greenwood Road.
