Microsoft have released a fix to the critical vulnerability I discussed earlier. However, it appears that this fix doesn't actually plug the vulnerability. It's probably still worth keeping your box up-to-date with Windows Update, but it won't protect you against this attack.
I still recommend that you either use Mozilla Firefox or another alternative to IE. If for some reason this is not an option, don't use IE to browse the wider Web.
