So those of you using IE with windows XP be careful. (also Win Server 2003)
SAN JOSE, Calif. - Microsoft Corp. has taken the rare step of warning about a serious computer security vulnerability it hasn't fixed yet.
The vulnerability disclosed Monday affects Internet Explorer users whose computers run the Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 operating software.

It must be hitting the fans that MS admitted vulnerability, BEFORE releasing a 500MB patch.

I call it bs. You can get infected with dozens of trojans if you visit spammy websites, that shouldn't come as a surprise.
Check most (if not all) microsoft patches in past 5-8 years and you will see this (usually the first line in the patch description):

It can allow hackers to remotely take control of victims' machines.

What is MS making, trojans and spyware OSes?
