IE Bug Can Crash Browser

This looks like a really big problem. This bug lets hackers take control of your PC. There is currently is no patch for the bug. The COM flaw is triggered by a certain code that is embedded in the attackers HTML page. Until the patch is out, Microsoft is recommending that users set their IE zone security settings to "High". I am glad I use Firefox.

"Security researchers have discovered a bug in Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser that can cause the software to crash, and which could possibly be used to let an attacker run unauthorized software on the IE user's machine."
