Finnish security company F-Secure says that AMD's online discussion forum appears to be infected a WMF exploit.
It says that anyone visiting the site is sent such an exploit through an encoded IFRAME directive and warns against viewing.
It says it has told AMD of the problem and that the company is working on fixing the problem.
The wmf vulnerability was patched by Microsoft in January.
