Subject: 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?
