This is why Firefox + NoScript isn't a magic fix
Before any Firefox zealots start going nuts, Firefox + NoScript is my browser configuration of choice.

That being said, people do have to be careful when they use the "Allow " option of NoScript because even legitimate, trustworthy sites are sometimes used to distribute malware. I really and truly wish that Mozilla would implement a Protected Mode for FireFox under Vista.
