I knew it, if it weren't for MS and all those lost hours in productivity due to reboots/crashes etc, we could have been much more advanced by now. I reckon they've cost the human race at least 50 years :)

Turn off Javascript, switch off pop-up windows, reconfigure Outlook to show plain text email...

CERT have jumped on the bandwagon too....

"CERT recommends that Explorer users consider other browsers that are not affected by the attack, such as Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape and Opera. Mac, Linux and other non-Windows operating systems are immune from this attack. "
