I believe this only applies to IE6.

Internet Explorer flaw gets 'extremely critical' rating
"Danish security company Secunia has upgraded a security warning on a flaw in Internet Explorer 6.0, to "extremely critical"." (more)

I really wish that these people would realize just how stupid it is to use IE these days.

It's not a bug or flaw, it's a feature or issue.

That's why I use Firefox, and upgraded my child's computer to Fedora Core 3.

Shalom.

IE Bugs Now 'Extremely Critical'

Excerpt --
Until a patch is available, IE users should consider switching browsers, said Secunia, or disabling the "Drag and Drop or copy and paste files option in Internet Explorer. Microsoft has posted a document on its support site that explains the process.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888534

Take a glance at the Microsoft temporary solution and decide, "Do I want to try this Microsoft temp patch or just download/install Firefox?"

IE is functioning as designed. It was originally designed to be a trojan delivery mechanism.

If you don't belive produce one aspect of its behavior that contradicts my claim ;-)
