Researchers show how to take control of Windows 7.

Proof-of-concept code takes control of the computer during the boot process

"There's no fix for this. It cannot be fixed. It's a design problem," Vipin Kumar said, explaining the software exploits the Windows 7 assumption that the boot process is safe from attack.

Caveat: attacker must have physical access to computer to use this exploit, i.e. cannot be done remotely.
