Still more reasons to avoid Internet Explorer
,----[ Quote ]
| On June 26th at ZDNet Ryan Naraine wrote about a new bug in Internet Explorer
| (Zero-day flaw haunts Internet Explorer) for which Microsoft has no
| fix/patch. A few days later, he documented how the bad guys were exploiting
| this bug (Exploit code released for unpatched IE 7 vulnerability). That story
| starts with "Another day, another gaping hole affecting fully patched
| versions of Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser." We've been down this road
| before.
