A Secunia advisory was posted last week about a vulnerability in IE's handling of the 'window();' function in the 'body onload' event. There are now reports that a Trojan is circulating which exploits this vulnerability. Currently, fully patched systems are still at risk.[ZDNet]The vulnerability puts computers running Windows 98, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 2000 and Windows XP at risk. An attacker could gain complete control of vulnerable systems by hosting malicious code on a Web site. Once an IE user visits the site, the malicious program would run without any user interaction.

Sorry to play devils advocate here but this too has had some security issues in the past yet all the FF users stick their head in the sand and deny all knowledge. Yes its a pretty good browser - I use both IE and FF on the majority of my systems I use at work and own at home, but its not the holy grail
