Phel Trojan Horse Attacks Windows Xp from Symantek

This is a link to the writeup that Symantek have Phel Trojan Horse

Another security flaw in XP, you have to go to a malformed website to get the infection. SP2 service pack does not protect you, so make sure you don't click any email links. I sent 2 emails to Symantek and fbi this morning that had links to 2 malformed sites (no links because that would be tricking somone to go there ) Both computers seem to be hijacked and located in the US (dsl subscriber lines).

I don't think the sploit will run under FireFox does it ? I never use IE anyways.

From the Penguin piccy, and "Penguin Power" .sig is it safe to assume you are running Linux ?

the trojan only effects win32, so you are safe.

I have Fedora Core 3 installed, but mostly i run Windoze XP to run SoF2 (shame on me, i know it) . As soon as i get SoF2 to run on FC, i'll drop windows.
