The exp/wmf-a is a trojan horse that is used to exploit a flaw in Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer.  Through this flaw, programs can be silently installed on your computer for purposes such as downloading adware programs, spyware or any other types of programs used to exploit for your computer. 

This trojan horse has gotten some attention since the recent situation over at Myspace where it was discovered that a company advertising on the Myspace site was attempting to use this exploit when users clicked on the banner ad.

If you are not sure if you have this patch installed on your computer, you can find the security patch on the Microsoft site.
