The Security Mentor

Via Watchguard, there's another critical security hole in Internet Explorer which could lead to your computer being taken over if you visit the wrong web page.

There's an example out in public showing how to take advantage of the flaw. Soon bad guys will adapt the example to do bad things.

Turn off Javascript, which Microsoft calls Active Scripting, if you can live with having some web sites not work. Only visit web sites that you know are reputable and that don't have third-party ads on them. Or (again) use another browser. If you don't like Firefox, Opera is another good bet.

Oh, wait, two IE bugs. There's also one which "only" crashes the browser.

Be sure to run Windows Update on the second Tuesday of April, when Microsoft will release fixes.
