Fix for Duqu Rootkit
Duqu Rootkit has been in the news recently. This rootkit exploits a critical security vulnerability in Windows. Although overall impact is rated as low, still a threat is there. In this GHacks article, a fix by Microsoft has been posted, which can be done manually by command line, and is available as a MS Fix-It solution.
http://www.ghacks.net/2011/11/04/mic...curity-update/ In case someone gets infected from the rootkit, another GHacks article covers the tools which have been released to remove it. http://www.ghacks.net/2011/11/02/duq...tool-released/

Patch has been released:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s...letin/ms11-087 More details: http://arstechnica.com/business/news...dows-patch.ars Auto updates has been enabled in my system. But for some reason, this did not come through (yet). Manual download and patching works just fine

Since the implementation (future imp.) of UEFI, many threats have seen light, like talking advantage of early death of BIOS. Dealing with Windows Kernel is a pain in ass I hope any new thread include pure debugging in BIOS
 it could be as dangerous as new overclocking virus (coming soon). http://www.microsoft.com/security/po...:WinNT/Wador.A
