Subject: All Antivirus, Trojan, Spy ware scanner, Nested file manual scan bypass bugs. [Part IV]

I've heard of this before (see following link). I thought it was fixed
in SP1 (maybe it was SP2). I'm probabaly wrong - call it wishful
thinking. There is an interesting page in German about it here:

(if the URL wrap bothers you, here's a TinyURL: http://tinyurl.com/6t6lu)

It doesn't take much to figure out how this could be used to cause
some hell. (Maybe combined with the recent GDI/JPEG exploit?
Downloading a batch file coudl be nasty...)
