As previously reported the latest vulnerability discovered in Internet Explorer is being exploited quite severely by adware. Windows users are recommended to disable Active Scripting support for all but trusted websites until Microsoft gets round to releasing a patch.
The vulnerabilities are actively being exploited in the wild to install adware on users' systems, security researchers warn. Other exploits - include computer viruses - based on the same techniques of tricking users into visiting a maliciously constructed website housing malign script could follow.
