There's a flaw in the Windows Video ActiveX control on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 (Vista is not affected) that's actively being exploited. There's a way to turn off the control (workaround described in above link) but if you can follow those instructions you probably aren't the type that was using IE as your default browser anyways. For everybody else, stop using IE until a patch is released.

Or you could just do everyone a favor and stop using IE forever.

Unfortunately, there's now *another* ActiveX exploit that wasn't patched this month that's being actively exploited. Details here:
