SecurityNow (a combo of the venerable Leo and renowned security researcher Steve Gibson) has done a good job explaining a bug in one of last month’s Windows update. This bug, affecting Windows 2000 only, is in the original 920958 security patch and affects files that are compressed using NTFS compression. If you are running Windows 2000, use compressed files (that is, not ZIP files or RAR files, etc – but FILE or FOLDER compression from the Properties dialog of the file or folder on your drive), and have updated your computer in the past month either manually or via Automatic Updates, I strongly suggest that you download the hotfix for this bug to prevent your files from being lost.

Microsoft’s fix for the above bug can be found here

Thanks to Leo and Steve for their great podcast and all-around goodness.
