Dangerous bug in Internet Explorer

Bug in IE could leave millions of users vulnerable to spyware and bot softwares being installed on their computers.

One must disable active scripting in IE to stop this problem. Alternately eEye Digital Security has come out with a patch to fix the problem. But it is only a temporary fix till Microsoft comes out with a patch which wont happen till April 11th!

So if you dont want to wait that long you can go here, and download the temporary patch yourself:

and the temporary eEye patch will automatically remove itself as soon as Microsoft's patch is delivered.
