MSIE ActiveX Exploit

ZDNN Analysis IE5 flaw makes PCs vulnerable describes an ActiveX exploit (ActiveXploit?) called a "treacherous design flaw in Internet Explorer 5.0 -- is perhaps the most serious ever. It allows anyone with a Web page to take over your computer system via a few simple lines of text within the HTML code that comprises the page. If you so much as visit the page, your system may be subject to the exploit." There is word there on how to plug the potential holes until a better fix is available. Sorry on the lateness in posting news of this potentially dangerous exploit, this was posted a few days ago, and I meant to post this when I saw mention of it the other day on Sharky Extreme, and obviously failed to do so. Sorry about that. Thanks Paul Baucom for the reminder.
