Well, let me amend that.
The other thread isn't a duplicate
of the report, but of the story.
Perhaps the key thing here is:
"The truly alarming part is there is no patch
available for that vulnerability,"
Even if you have an AV and a FireWall app (and
I do), because this exploit targetted "trusted"
sites, you may have let configured scripting
guard for reduced security for those sites, and
got hit - if you use MSIE.
Update your AV definitions tonite and run a
full scan.
It would appear that the only solution is to
use another browser, until MS releases more
secure code (or becomes a smaller target for
malware coders).
The other thread got moved to the blogger section which isn't as visible.
This is a sourced story so should ( I think ) stay in the news section which is currently seen by many more folks.
Thanks for putting the Link to that thread since there was a pretty decent discussion on browsers and in particular on Firefox, which I am using at the moment.
Seems to work OK, still need to do more customization of the options.
