IE vulnerability in the Wild
Well this was bound to happen, hackers found this vulnerability and is using it for their own purposes. [ad#ad2-right]It seems they put a virus on your system. Microsoft has issued an Recommendation and to check out Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-055.
[ad#ad2-left]I personally like to recommend a program that will do a better job at security and that is Firefox, I also suggest people use the Thunderbird and not Microsoft mail program. This will greatly reduce your likely hood of getting a virus or Trojan. Most of the time hackers like to find new ways to infection to get into your system. If you want to preven having a virus in the future, I'd recommend going to my Malware Resource and check out a good firewall and anti-virus. This will prevent you from getting some of the viruses and other types of malware.
"What we've seen from the exploit so far is it stealing game passwords, but it's inevitable that it will be adapted by criminals," he said. "It's just a question of modifying the payload the trojan installs."
Said Mr Ferguson: "If users can find an alternative browser, then that's good mitigation against the threat."
