Another IE Flaw

Security researchers at Sunbelt Software have discovered an active malware attack against fully patched versions of Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser.

The exploit has been seeded at several porn sites hosted in Russia and is being used to launching drive-by malware downloads that appear to be hijacking Windows machines for use in botnets.


Let's see, hmmmm don't go to porn sites....

The attack is linked to the WebAttacker, a do-it-yourself malware installation toolkit that is sold at multiple underground Web sites.

"Once you click on the site, the exploit opens an MS-DOS box and starts installing spyware," Sites said.


If you see a DOS box open shut down and start cleaning.
Or..... just use FireFox.
