Is there the patch released already? What mister M$ thinks about this? Roy, do you think using Firefox would help with that? That's my only shelter. I hate being stuck with Windows.


Yes, Firefox would protect you from this particular attack, as this one exploits the latest Internet Explorer vulnerabilities.
 
Firefox (and other Netscape descendants)+ firewall + the latest anti-virus definitions + background anti-virus scan + never opening any incoming stuff until you are absolutely positive it's safe seems to be the only option for Windows user to stay relatively out of harm's way. But it turns your computing experience into much less fun and unbelievably slows down your PC...

Whenever you come across a website with senseless content intermingled with keywords targeted at search engines, I suggest you alert the SPAMCOP. These bot vermin must be crushed.
