I will keep you posted when I hear more
best advice at this time is make sure antivirus is updated to protect, watch where you surf & consider an alternative browser or set IE protection to high
However bear in mind these have all been targeted attacks against specific companies & institutions so less likely to affect the average user, at least until the skiddies get their hands on the exploit
OK if you are still using IE 6 or 7 on any version of windows
use the fixit Microsoft have issued http://support.microsoft.com/kb/979352
You do not need this fix if you are using Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) or on Windows Vista SP1 or later versions ( including Windows 7 ) . This is because Internet Explorer 8 opts-in to DEP by default on these platforms.
