Hey, This Is Starting To Sound Serious
A security flaw in Microsoft's Internet Explorer 6.0 has been found that can open machines up to hackers if certain rogue Web sites are visited. While this has already been labelled a "critical" issue by Microsoft and a patch is being prepared, Danish security company Secunia--which no one has ever heard of until now--has upgraded the warning to "extremely critical." That is the second-highest warning level; the highest is "Jesus Christ, get that thing off your computer right away."
