A tip for windows XP users

Delinquent

Well-known member
I haven't seen anyone mention this so I thought it may help some people out.

The Windows XP Help and Support center includes a feature that runs when the Found New Hardware Wizard completes. This feature prompts you to send hardware profile information to Microsoft so that you can receive information about how to obtain the appropriate driver, or obtain support for the hardware that you installed. If you agree to send this data to Microsoft, Help and Support uses the Uplddrvinfo.htm file to send your hardware profile information to the Microsoft Driver Feedback server by using the Upload Manager service.

There is a security vulnerability in the JScript code in the Uplddrvinfo.htm file that might permit an attacker to delete files on your computer by using the hcp:// pluggable protocol to load the Uplddrvinfo.htm file.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows XP. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

The problem is people with pirated copies can't upgrade to SP1. Well until someone cracks it we can't :)

What you need to do is either search for the file uplddrvinfo.htm or browse to it in windows/PCHealth\HelpCtr\System\DFWS . From there you need to either delete it or rename it to uplddrvinfo.htm.bak
