Heads Up IE5.5/6 users

[33South (Chris)]

There is a new 'exploit' for a previously known bug in Internet Explorer.
This allows any program to be run via IE by a 'malicious website'.

Refer http://secunia.com/advisories/15546 (classed as extremely critical)

Unless you are sure your antivirus software han handle this it is recommended you disable JavaScript in Internet Explorer, until MS release a patch.

To do this: IE Tools >Internet Options - Security - Internet - Custom Level - Scripting - Active scripting - set to Disable

Alternatively use FireFox 1.07

Don't go to any malicious websites then

Disabling javascript will make lots of stuff not work anymore..

Thanks for the heads-up Chris.
