News of the latest Internet Explorer vulnerability has spread the web today. As has become the norm folks have blown the issue way out of proportion. As stated in the security advisory (see link below) covering this issue, “At this time, we are unaware of any attacks attempting to use this vulnerability.” So keep that in mind if you want to use the workaround.
Microsoft Security Advisory (980088)
The Workaround:
The easy way (recommended solution for IE users): See this page and run the Fix It tool (Enable Network Protocol Lockdown). Bookmark the page so that you can undo it later with the Fix It tool next to it. This solution should be enough until a patch is released.
The hard way: Go to the security advisory page above and follow the steps in the workaround.
The super easy way: Don’t use IE!
