I subscribe to a bunch of PCW e-mail news services. I got this one today:

Headline: Microsoft Leaves Duqu Worm Exploit Unpatched by Tony Bradley

Headline: Microsoft Posts a Fix for Duqu Zero-Day Trojan by Julie Bart
http://www.pcworld.c....nl_spx_h_crawl

So which is it PCW? Is the Duqu Worm patched or UNpatched? I suggest that Tony & Julie put their heads together & answer that question.

If you had read further in Tom's article, you would have seen this: " Symantec's Talbot stresses that the Duqu zero day is still a concern. "Microsoft recently published a security advisory as well as a temporary fix and is currently investigating the vulnerability". I suspect that was what Julie was referring to.
