Windows 7 still unsafe?

[spic0m]

According to the guys at F-Secure labs the unsuspected user may still fall for the oldest weakness in Windows. The "Hide extensions for known file types" in explorer is still there allowing to "cover" a badvirus.exe file to something like a badvirus.txt.exe.
Maybe in Windows 14 we see a fix for that.

Also, it is very funny sometimes to be in a p2p and scan a user directory and see something like:

hell.jpg.exe
angelina.jpg.exe
my foto.jpg.exe
...
...
...

Yes, it happens those days. After all, w1ndow$ are for viruses and worms.
