Windows Security hole: .JOB files


Apparently there is a new source of concern with Windows. It has to do with .JOB files an the kicker is you don't have to open the file to get infected. Simply navigating to a folder that contains the file is enough to cause things to go wrong.

.JOB files work with the task scheduler but it is really the icon handler that breaks things.
