Microsoft Issuing Emergency Patch For Internet Explorer

Microsoft will issue an emergency security patch some time today to fix a critical Internet Explorer flaw. You know the drill, patch your box and pass the word.

The company on Saturday warned that 1 in 500 Internet Explorer users worldwide may have been exposed to malware hosted at both legitimate Web sites and porn sites that exploit an unpatched vulnerability.

That should be it. But you really should use IE7.
