As many already know, the windows xp Service Pack1 has been released and can be obtained through windows update.
There was one major flaw in XP microsoft didnt tell anyone about, because it was so dangerous. It can allow ones files to be deleted simply by going to a webpage, or opening an email.
The service pack fixes the problem, and many others, but the thing is , maby people with pirated copys of windows xp, cannot installl this service pack

So heres the solution...ofcourse theres a big chance that soon hackers can get around this "temporary" fix. :
How to fix this:
1. You can install WinXP SP1.
2. You can remove/rename the uplddrvinfo.htm file.
(c:\windows\pchealth\helpctr\system\dfs\uplddrvinfo.htm)

peace

No its the solution to fix the problem in XP which allows deletion of files just by going to a specific URL
