Last week it was reported that a security firm found a critical flaw in the Microsoft Windows Media Digital Rights Management services built into Media Player 10. However, Microsoft has pointed out that this issue has been resolved already with Windows XP Service Pack 2, as well as by changing the security settings on older versions of IE 6.
"The automatic downloads would be blocked on any computer running the Service Pack 2 release of Windows, Microsoft representatives said. People can also protect PCs running older versions of the operating system by turning up the security settings in Internet Explorer to "high," they added.

"There is no way to automatically force the user to run the malicious software," Microsoft said in an e-mailed statement. "This function is not a security vulnerability in Windows Media Player or DRM."
