I can't see this posted on here - so apologies if everybody already knows about it!
There is a serious security flaw been found in Internet Explorer and this means at least seven version of it and the advice is to switch to another browser until it is fixed - see http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7784908.stm
Apparently about 10,000 websites have been compromised with a trojan which uses the flaw to access your PC and collect passwords.
I have switched to Firefox until they sort it.
