When I open my Downloads folder, I get a pop-up message: &quot;Icaros Unhandled Exception.&quot; How do I fix this? It started when I went to an, er, adult site to download a movie file. Now when I go to the folder where the file is located (the Downloads folder), I get the Icaros Unhandled Exception message. I can't even delete the file, due to the &quot;Icaros&quot; message and the fact that Windows Explorer ultimately restarts when I open that folder. ALL other folders on my PC are accessible and do not have this problem. I have Windows 7, 64 bit. Any assistance would be appreciated (and I will obviously me more careful on which sites I visit!!!). <br />

Icaros Unhandled Exception - how can I fix?

A vulnerability is a weakness which allows an attacker to reduce a system's information assurance. Vulnerability is the intersection of three elements: a system susceptibility or flaw, attacker access to the flaw, and attacker capability to exploit the flaw. To exploit a vulnerability, an attacker must have at least one applicable tool or technique that can connect to a system weakness, known as the attack surface. Vulnerability management is the cyclical practice of identifying, classifying, remediating, and mitigating vulnerabilities. Other vulnerabilities include security risks, security defects and constructs in programming languages that are difficult to use properly.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
