Nobody is freaking out.

This exploit is nasty in the way it works. All the user will see is IE crash and the normal, program has crashed message will appear. There is no other popup or indication that anything has been done to the host pc.

The user then re-launches IE and goes back to browsing. They don't know they have even been infected.

sorry, hope you dont think i meant you. i was talking about the article in the link. its always nice to be notified about an exploit. but i just gotta laugh when i read articles that are all like "youre computer is gonna get hacked". its nothing new or even remotely scary.

I like it when smug-people-hiding-behind-their-Anti-Virus/Malware/Spam-programs-who-think-they-know-computers-but-still-use-IE still get infected.

Hard to believe people in the know still using IE.
