The Security Mentor

eEye Security reports another unpatched bug in IE. This is about the second-worst kind of bug. It can take over your computer but it can't do it without some action on your part (kind of like a vampire who can't come into your home unless invited).

What kind of action should you avoid taking? Nobody's talking yet.

While we wait for Microsoft's fix, the best moves for anyone who's compelled to use IE are to stick to reputable web sites and block ads, turning off "Active Scripting" if the loss of functionality is tolerable, and maybe using a separate account or a separate computer for web surfing.
