So let me get this straight....
"Microsoft said the issue did not pose a serious risk to users because it requires an attacker to trick people into visiting a Web site and taking some action at the site"

So if I presumably go to a site, and possibly even just click an image... WHAM I'm infected.

Being that most sites are made to, well, go to and click something, I consider this a very serious risk.
