The Bat! is immune to the vulnerability within the Microsoft Colour Management Module

The Bat! is immune to the vulnerability within the Microsoft Colour Management Module (CMM), a component included within most Windows systems. CMM processes image files for a wide variety of formats including JPEG, EXIF, TIFF, PNG, PDF, PICT, PostScript, JDF (Job Definition Format), SVG, and CSS3.

The Bat! is not using Microsoft Colour Management Module and is very well-protected against viruses and worms that spread via email. The Bat! doesn't use the Windows address book and Windows-dependent HTML viewer, which have been the targets of many recent attacks.
