All IE (Internet Explorer) users should be careful now as Microsoft updated their
security bulletin to inform users of their browser's new vulnerability. The newly discovered flaw could potentially allow remote code execution. To put it simply, the flaw in IE could allow a third party to execute programs (potentially viruses or other malwares) on your computer without direct access to your PC. The flaw is found in IE6, IE7 and even IE8 beta.
There are several workarounds provided by Microsoft to help minimize the risk of being attack. To protect yourself you can follow these
instructions (a pretty detailed list provided by PCMag), or simply switch to other browsers; I recommend
Firefox,
Chrome or
Safari.

Thanks so much for the heads up! My IE was acting freaky all morning, finally switched out over to my FF, oh so much better... Hmmm could be why problems, then again, maybe not, it is IE after-all, it's more temperamental than a hormonal woman! And before any of the hormonal women chime in to defend themselves; I happen to be one, therefore, I know of what I speak =) Happy Holidays Y'all!
Haha... wise choice switching over to FF.
