Microsoft half fixes serious IE vuln | The Register
I've patched. Have you?
If you are using Windows, patch!!!!
Okay so you aren't using IE as your browser. Good for you. Patch anyway. IE is intertwined throughout the OS and many programs use IE even when you haven't individually invoked it.
The good news is that whan you select Windows Update from the Start Menu it will invoke IE -- that's right -- you have to use IE in order to use Windows Update.

And after all that, here's what CERT said in their own words. I don't really think it has been misreported since many of the articles I've read talk about the work-arounds. So you have to figure out which is more effective -- hobbling IE and sitll having serious vunerablilites or switching browsers. For me the scale finally tilted to switching.

Yahoo! News - U.S. Steers Consumers Away From IE
I've been working with Mozilla Firefox all week. Now that I've added the "Blog This!" button to my "Bookmarks Toolbar" (available at blogger.com) there is nothing I had with IE that I haven't been able to duplicate using Firefox.
I'll be covering this as it develops on this week's tip's segment.

A Switch to Firefox
After CERT issued a warning recommending that users stop using Internet Explorer for security reasons
CERT Recommends Mozilla, Firefox
AND a new version of Firefox was released, I did the smart thing and made the switch.
Firefox - The Browser, Reloaded
For the most part it is going well, but there are some things that just don't work -- like some parts of the Blogger editor. Of course I may just have something configured wrong. It will take a while to learn to work without a few IE oriented tools I usually use, but the sacrifice is worth the security. Firefox is very slick. Try it -- you might like it.
