3rd parties rule
[quote]
While Microsoft is aware of the attacks, it said it does not recommend using the third-party fix. "As a best practice, customers should obtain security updates and guidance from the original software vendor," a Microsoft representative said in a statement.

Oh...MS doesn't recommend the 3rd party fix? Why would that be? I mean, MS has a fabulous record with its own patches...which often need patching. I say the best fix *is* 3rd party...but its a 3rd party browser, not IE.
