Firefox ANI exploit on the way - no protected mode
Spooky :o :o
Only George Ou could use a MS bug to bash Firefox. :
Isn’t the fix for this out today anyway?
I Just spoke with Opera support team & they said that Opera is safe to protect against ANI Exploit… for now… :-\ : :
Thanks Bob!
I checked a few moments ago and it wasn’t available in the UK, but I’ll try again later.
I checked earlier this morning and it wasn’t available here. Re-checked after I saw your post
and it was there. Thanks
A reboot is required after this update.

Oops! What does this mean? ???
Google rthdcpl.exe and you’ll find it is an infection :
This is all I could find.
Description:
rthdcpl.exe is a process belonging to the Realtek HD Audio Control Panel and is bundled alongside Realtek sound cards and audio hardware. This program is a non-essential process, but should not be terminated unless suspected to be causing problems
Can you get an update?
This is why Microsoft takes so long to issue fixes- if it rushes them out like today, it’ll bugger up something else at the same time it fixes the problem.
Hm, interesting. Yes, (the updated) user32.dll now has the same base address as hhctrl.ocx. I wouldn’t think it should be a problem, however… that’s why they are DLLs - they are relocatable.
Maybe the system doesn’t like to relocate its system libraries… but I’d expect user32.dll to be loaded before hhctrl.ocx anyway…
Strange.
I’ve got the same process, and so far no problems (Vista HP).
I have exactly the same problem too! and i do have the realtek audio as audio driver, for now i just restored the computer back to before the update, but i dont know how to fix this 
Just found this:
Have you tried the hotfix Frank? does it work?
thanks for the info freewheelinfrank…didn’t get the error as some of you got since i don’t have the realtek audio as audio driver on both of my computers…they must of rush this patch out and now they have another problem-way to go again microsoft
CAUSE This problem may occur after you install security update 925902 (MS07-017) and security update 928843 (MS07-008). The Hhctrl.ocx file that is included in security update 928843 and the User32.dll file that is included in security update 925902 have conflicting base addresses. This problem occurs if the program loads the Hhctrl.ocx file before it loads the User32.dll file.
