Another IE flaw

[retrograde]

Well, it's all over the news that there's yet another flaw in IE. Groups are even suggesting switching to a different browser until the flaw is taken care of.

Thanks for posting this Retro!

I thought I'd copy this over here to the genreal forum just in case some of us don't make their way over to the Tech Forum.

Again, thanks!

Yeah I sent out an office memo on that last week and have almost completely phased out use of IE (except for testing site compatibility and the occasional site that has to be viewed with IE)

Keep those virus definitions updated, too, as the latest definition sets for pretty much all AV software covers that trojan.

Brian, what are you using as the office browser?

Mozilla Firefox.
I use Firefox and Mozilla 2.0 but as far as the standard on all the PCs here, Firefox.

If you are using Firefox, you may want to try this extension I found today. It's pretty nifty if you do design work.

if you have autoupdate enabled it will have already installed the patch. To verify that you are protected, go to "add/remove programs" and see if you have hotfix 835732 or Windows XP Service Pack 2 RC2 installed.
