Not a dupe, it's the vulnerability du jour for Internet Explorer. If you're still using Internet Explorer, for god's sake, stop. Get FireFox. Go to [a href="http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/"]Get FireFox[/a] or use the button on the side of the page.
[hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"]Secunia reports on a [a href="http://secunia.com/advisories/19521/"]new vulnerability in Internet Explorer[/a].

From the article: 'This can be exploited to spoof the address bar in a browser window showing web content from a malicious web site.' According to several (german) media outlets this is already being exploited by phishing sites. Secunia has a [a href="http://secunia.com/Internet_Explorer_Address_Bar_Spoofing_Vulnerability_Test/"]test you can try[/a] to see if you are vulnerable."[hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"]  
Why bother? It's like seeing if your brain tumor tastes good.  Go to [a href="http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/"]Get FireFox[/a] and get a browser that doesn't leak like a sieve and won't f*ck you over.
The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.
