RUSTWORTHY COMPUTING firm Microsoft said there's a bug in its Media Player 7.1 and in the Windows XP Media Player. Yes, the bug is one that could let some crazy read files or run programs on your PC. This is a critical bug, and you're recommended to install a patch. The problem is related to downloading "skins" for the Media Player. This is buzz for the look of the media player, which relies on an XML file.

There's a related problem with Outlook and Outlook Express, you won't be astonished to hear. But Meia Player 9 doesn't appear to be affected.

Download locations for this patch :
Microsoft Windows Media Player 7.1 | Microsoft Windows Media Player for Windows XP (Version 8.0)
