I have the most upto date IE available just as many others do, BUT whenever I open the browser immediately I am plagued with a DSO Exploit. Now it may well be something else but I only seem to get it when I open IE, and for those of you who think it may be the website I'm on, my home page is about:blank :)

Wasn't this supposed to be fixed in SP2?

Explain to me again why A) you're questioning IE's ability to be a secure browsing environment, and B) you're even using it at all.

A) - Because today I'm dumb and
B) - Testing usability on my own website (Oi) :(

A) Hopefully that's a temporary problem.
B) SP2 makes testing scripts a real bitch. Sometimes I wish I'd never installed it and just took my chances on not being compromised.

Yes it's a temporary problem. I disagree with Micro$oft end of story, but what can you do, we don't have an alternative that has all the programs we use on it, would then have to re-buy them all and so on, just not worth the time or money right now if we did (Mac comes close but still missing some things).
