Interesting.

Brad, I just reread the MS security advisory, and they do not say the 
security hole in IE affects only pr0n/warez/crack sites.

Think about it, Brad. If someone wants to take advantage of the security 
holeS, they're going to put together a web site that appears, for all 
intents and purposes, legitimate.

As someone else suggested, the best advice that MS could have given 
would be to uninstall IE and use some alternative browser like Mozilla 
or Opera. But we all know how likely that is.
