DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft Windows, which can be
exploited by malicious people to spoof certain information and
potentially trick a user into installing a malicious program.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in Microsoft Agent making
it possible to spoof trusted Internet content (e.g. hide various
security prompts by a Microsoft Agent character). This can be
exploited to trick a user into believing that they are looking at
trusted content when actually visiting a malicious web site.

Successful exploitation requires that a user visits a malicious web
site.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches.
