Using IE? Better patch this one ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

Anyone with any smarts does not use Internet Explorer. If you don’t use it then there is no worry.

On the second day of Christmas Microsoft gave to me:

An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user

Which is why you should never be operating your computer under an Administrator Account. You should create a Standard User account to operate under and only use the Administrator account when needed to install software.
