Infected

News flash from the AP news wire:

Major flaw revealed in Internet Explorer; users urged to switch. 5:49pm Dec 16.

This warning has come to late. I spent most of my day fighting the java based Trojan that glams on to IE and attempts to take over your machine. It looks like we have it cleaned off. And I am typing this on Firefox. I am scared of IE.

Microsoft owes me a patch- fast! And will I be able to trust it again in the near future? I just don't know. I feel very violated today and wondering if it got my passwords or not.

If it has not gotten to you yet... watch out. All you have to do is visit one of the 10,000 infected websites. No downloads required. It is a pesky virus. Might want to make a browser change for the time being. Might be better for your overall computer health.
