A flaw in IE is being actively exploited by hackers. The flaw can allow a hacker to infect your PC and steal passwords, account information or do just about anything they want to. Mainstream web sites are being used to infect PCs.
All versions of Internet Explorer are vulnerable. Also, Vista is not immune to the flaw.
The problem is serious enough that Microsoft is issuing a patch for it almost 4 weeks before their next scheduled update date on Jan 13. A patch for the flaw is due out today any minute now. If you run Internet Explorer at home be sure to install all Windows updates before going online.
