Joys of Microsoft. A new vulnerability has been found.. which then uses a second new vulnerability... which then uses a third KNOWN vulnerability to completely control your PC, no questions asked. There's no worm involved, no virus, all you have to do is click the wrong link.

"It has been rated "extremely critical" by security company Secunia, and the only advice is to disable Active Scripting support for all but trusted websites." <-- overly active

The best part is they have known about it since aug of 2003 and have done nothing about it.

The third one, anyways. The first two, that are used to get to the third exploit, are new.

unless you're a Mozilla or Opera user that is.
And now that both of these products' developers have come together to author new standards, I see both products only becoming better, while IE stagnates (as if they haven't already). But thanks for the heads up, if you use Outlook/Outlook Express haven't haven't turned off your preview pane, this is of the top ways to hijack your computer.

Ohhh... yeah.. it's what i use to view all of those flash applets that i intentionally dont want mozilla to do because of all of the people using them for ads.

Trust the Dinosaur, Mozilla is your friend...
