    A serious new Internet attack affecting Internet Explorer 6 and 7, and Outlook 2002 and later on Windows XP SP2 is underway. If you simply view a Web site or HTML e-mail that's been laced with a poisoned animated cursor file (.ani), an attacker can take over your computer. IE7 under Vista, Firefox and Outlook 2007 are not currently affected.

    I was wondering that same question. Hopefully Micro$oft will get a patch out soon.

    That's the first step to recovery; admitting you have a problem. Welcome to the wonderful world of Mac!
