QuoteSophosLabs has just released a free tool that provides detection against the Windows shortcut exploit that we published last week here and here. Sophos has indicated it works with any antivirus software and it works with Windows XP/Vista/7 but not 2000. When Windows tries to display an icon with a shortcut, the tool will intercept the request in order to validate it and give back control to the user if not found to be malicious.
