Your only recourse is to never use the internet. ALL systems have vulnerabilities in regard to skilled people with malicious intent. Microsoft just gets the worst press. This bug has existed as long as IE, yet there is not a single reported incident. Your chances of getting struck by lightening on a sunny day are hundreds of times greater than falling victim to this perceived bug. Relax.

Anything produced by BillGates' Microcrap is second rate at best. Functional folk use Firefox or Mozilla as their browser.

yeah, IE has had support for ActiveX forever and they are not planning to take that out of IE, even though it is a huge volnurability...
