The Internet Explorer flaw that allowed recent attacks against Google, Adobe, and others has now been published. Until the flaw is fixed, you should be using Firefox or another alternate browser.

The IE flaw is serious, especially for Windows XP systems running IE 6. The flaw allows bad guys to run programs on machines after a victim simply visits a rigged web site. These bad programs recently allowed attackers to roam around a number of corporate networks and steal valuable software code (an attacked being called “Aurora”).
