Yesterday, Microsoft confirmed an ActiveX-related severe vulnerability in IE6 and IE 7. Although we have not received any infection cases in Vista and Windows 7, however, this does not mean that Vista and WIndows 7 are 100% secure. Microsoft also provided a temporary solution yesterday to disable ActiveX, which is the safest method, but will inevitably affect the use of some plug-ins. It will take some time for Microsoft to release patches. Therefore, you should do it yourself. It is also good to start on your own.
