What's new, right?

"As users of Microsoft products are probably aware, Microsoft releases security updates on the second Tuesday of each month. However, this time there’s a security hole in Internet Explorer that they haven’t yet patched, and it’s so serious that users are advised to immediately apply a workaround fix."  -- Stan Schroeder, Mashable.com

My suggestion: Upgrade to a better browser (Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox).
