Re: Heads up! Yet another IE bug

The remedy, as listed by Secunia, IIRC, is an extreme one - disable just about all scripting in the Internet zone. Then you need to enter sites into the Trusted Sites zone - a lot of work, it seems to me. Is there a better way to protect ourselves? Doing the suggested process made it impossible for use to get work done that involves the Internet. Also, we are behind a NAT-enabled router, so I am assuming a little protection here.

Have to balance cost vs. risk. Where is the balance point on this one?

I know the reporting of possible exploits in IE is old hat, but here's a new one that everyone should be aware of. Read about it at Slashdot:
