I honestly had no idea code could be run simply by hovering your mouse over an icon in windows.....

I use WinXP and Winamp 2.80.....I think they are talking about Winamp3 though.

The vulnerability is exploited using a long artist ID3v2 tag. If an MP3 with a malformed tag is loaded in Winamp version 2.81, a remote attacker can take over the system.
