Executive Summary
This security update resolves seven privately reported vulnerabilities and one publicly disclosed vulnerability in Internet Explorer. The more severe vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user views a specially crafted Web page using Internet Explorer. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.

3. I don't use it either hobbit.

I quit using it about 2 years ago completely and use Firefox exclusively. The only time I use IE is when I have to log onto my work website which is not compatible with IE8....only 6 which is buggy as hell so I rarely log on using my computer.
