    Hi everyone :)
    Some news has past my way regarding some new Vulnerabilities in IE. The best advice i can give you all at the present time is to maintain strict browsing habit's at all times. Further details can be found here for the protection of your computer. My advice would be to read it and digest it and then implement it. Most members here already have there own way of protecting themselves but the newer members who may have limited knowledge will gain a lot from this article

    The advice for the above should be strictly applied until service pack 2 has been officially released when these vulerabilities will have been fixed

    And lastly Don't panic as a Secunia vulnerability isn't necessary an exploit but a defined security hole (worms will most likely surface though).

    Also you should Disable Active Scripting. Use another product...Like Firefox for example
