Microsoft are reported to be working on a patch to fix the issue, in the mean time it may well be worth downloading and running another browser from the links/list below.

Firefox
Opera
Safari
Google Chrome

Especially at this time of year when you may be entering credit/debit card details etc.

Time for the little fishes of the browser world to take a slice, dont be scared folks, moving from IE could be the best thing you ever do.

Just so you know, microsofts patch to fix this exploit was made available about 18:00 GMT. Should come via automatic updates, or you can run the usual windows update etc.

I run Google chrome or FF in windows.....now I'm going to sit and chuckle to myself while I'm playing in Ubuntu...learning new things is hard, it hurts my brain.
