An exploit that was reported in Feb. 2007 is still unpatched in IE8. This has been patched in Firefox 2.0.0.2 and in Opera 9.20. The vulnerability does not work in IE7 so those users as safe.

The hole is not planned to be fixed until the release of IE9.
Thanks to polonus for the heads up. :bow:
This is good to know.
I don't use IE that often, but IE8 is the one that's installed on my PC so this info is good.
I think that if you have Windows 7 you might not be able to uninstall it. You can uninstall it if you have XP or Vista.
