Internet Explorer IS the flaw.
Happens all the time with all browsers.

One of my friends does yet. He's super paranoid about viruses. I visit sites I shouldn't but I haven't yet had a virus (knock on wood) while he's had several bad ones. He virus scans once a day and is constantly checking his system. I use Mozilla and he uses IE. Maybe that is just a coincidence, but maybe it's not...
There are plenty of free web browsers out now that a Security flaw in IE shouldn't even be a hint of a problem. Anyways I always keep two browsers installed on my comp just incase for some crazy reason (that has never happened yet) one of them doesn't work.
Dang I guess I should hop onto firefox for now..
I've blocked IE from accessing the internet now. I'll tell my mum to use Firefox instead.
I'd stay with it for now, until I find a better browser.

I'd second that.
I didn't know Microsoft still made a browser. Is it in color? Mouse-support?
''At present, this exploit only seems to affect 0.02% of internet sites,''

Yes, it's powered by raping puppies and giving cancer to grandmothers.
