There are reports of a fake email (purporting to be from Paypal) being received. There’s a link in it. If you click the link to open it in any version of IE except that with XP SP2, your computer would get infected. MS hasn’t yet released any patches for the IE vulnerability that’s being exploited. Surfing the web with IE is not currently safe.

In other news, Mozilla Firefox 1.0 came out today, although I’m still very partial to Opera.
