A new Microsoft Security Advisory

I guess this one was released last night. This latest affects all systems running IE 6 and could result in an attacker obtaining full control of an affected system. Says Microsoft, “A COM object, javaprxy.dll, when instantiated in Internet Explorer can cause Internet Explorer to unexpectedly exit. We are investigating a potentially exploitable condition.“ Between now and when a fix is released, Microsoft recommends running a firewall, anti-virus software, making sure your system is up-to-date as far as patches go, and to turn your Internet and local intranet security zone to high. Buying a Mac wouldn't be a bad idea either :-p
