Turn off Javascript in IE again

MICROSOFT and computer insecurity experts the world over are recommending that Internet Explorer users should switch off Javascript again.

Given that every time there is a zero day security exploit related to IE the first thing that is recommended is that users switch off Javascript, it must be hard to find a technically literate person who has the thing switched on. Although finding a technically literate IE user is about as hard as finding a modest Apple user.

The reason for switching off your Javascript this time is that an exploit for a previously undiscovered flaw in the Internet Exploder web browser has been spotted in circulation.

The flaw could enable a hacker to take over a computer if a web surfer visited a compromised website using a vulnerable version of the MS's IE browser.
