I'll just point out, as I keep doing, that this exploit, even if you bite 
on a suitably nefarious website, ONLY RUNS MALWARE WITH YOUR PRIVILEGES. 
If you're not running as admin, it cannot install anything [can't even 
install activeX on my system, YMMV].  And it is nearly impossible for any 
sort of 'protection' software to protect against a smart-enough admin-
privileged program from having its way, so those apps are bandaids-at-
best.

Running-admin-all-the-time [and *especially* surfing the internet as 
admin] *IS*FOOLISH*.  Even if you won't give up your beloved admin 
account [sensible and prudent as that would be to do :o)], *at*least* use 
"dropmyrights" to get your browser and email clients running privilege-
free.
