I was reading the SMH about a security hole in Microsoft, which informed

Security hole: Microsoft issues rare warning
July 7, 2009 - 8:18AM

Microsoft  has taken the rare step of warning about a serious computer
security vulnerability it hasn't fixed yet.

The vulnerability disclosed on Monday affects Internet Explorer users
whose computers run the Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 operating
software.
