IE Zero-Day Attack Still In The Works

As in, if you use the Snapshot Viewer* for Microsoft Access, used by IE. There’s an Active-X Control (which means they can run nasty things on your computer like keyloggers) that’s flawed. The only real suggestion I’ve seen so far is run Firefox instead. I personally like Avant; don’t follow any lyrics to bands named Avant, by the way.
*Microsoft Office older than 2007.
