Whats the IE security issue thing about?

[VrWagz1]

Just whatching the ABC news and they were saying that IE has a serious security flaw. Now while this is a long way from a first security issue for IE, why is this one so critical.
The recommendation was to immediatly stop using IE and get firefox or alike.

An IE Security Flaw So Serious, Experts Suggest Switching|Technologizer

Apparently its in all IE versions - even those as old as IE5, and even in the newest betas.

Agreed...still, its surprising to see how many people use IE6, just why I do not know.

I use IE..... Its convenient, but when I redo my computer Ill install Crome, no point atm though.

No idea on this "security flaw", I doubt its anything serious, considering all banks Ive seen use IE, and even when we deploy new PC's in banks and corporate sites, its IE.

My workplace won't allow anything but IE, and we are still on 6 :cry:

I assume you're not allowed to use USB drives? (in which case you could stick Portable Firefox on a USB drive and use that)
