Seperti sudah kita ketahui bahwa support untuk Windows XP SP2 sudah
berakhir 13 Juli 2010 kemarin. Artinya tidak ada update lagi sejak
tanggal itu, meski terdapat CELAH KEAMANAN YANG MEMBAHAYAKAN. Seperti
yang belum lama terjadi, terdapat celah keamanan tentang shortcut link
(LNK) yang memungkinkan aktifnya malware (virus, trojan dll) hanya
dengan membuka folder/drive yang berisi shortcut tertentu.
Bila
di komputer agan ada link/shortcut seperti ini: ~WTR4141.tmp,
~WTR4132.tmp, Mrxcls.sys,atau Mrxnet.sys, Copy of Shortcut to.lnk, Copy
of Copy of Shortcut to.lnk, Copy of Copy of Copy of Shortcut to.lnk,
Copy of Copy of Copy of Copy of Shortcut to.lnk berarti komputer sudah
terinfeksi.
Microsoft sudah mengantisipasi hal ini dengan
mengeluarkan update untuk sistem operasinya, mulai dari windows XP
sampai Windows 7. Tetapi untuk Windows XP SP2, sudah tidak disediakan
lagi.
Bagi pengguna Windows XP Service
Pack 2 (SP2) memang dianjurkan untuk segera di update ke SP3 agar
update-update senantiasa ada. Tetapi jika karena suatu hal windows tidak
bisa di update ke SP3 dan harus tetap menggunakan SP2, masih ada tips
untuk menginstall update LNK ini.

WindowsXP-KB2286198-x86-ENU.exe (2.9 MB) ini ketika di buka
properties-nya ( klik kanan dan pilih Properties ), di bagian/tab
