You don't have to be tricked
This flaw is making rounds in some Ads shown in places like Photobucket.com. I caught it... and had a bunch of trojans downloaded and spent over a day trying to clean my system. You don't get any prompts... it's silent and vicious... and very annoying.

I have since disabled WMIBroker in "Manage Add-ons." MS needs to get its act together. Zero-day exploits should be fixed within hours... not days.
