Comment on IE7, IE8 and IE9 zero-day exploit

Comments

This was on the frontpage yesterday... ? Microsoft has already issued a patch..

Do you have a link to the patch? The latest I know of is the security advisory saying they're looking into it and a workaround that's not really a patch.

I believe Microsoft are saying if you install EMET and enable it for IE, you'll be safe.

That's the workaround that's not really a patch that I was talking about. EMET is a very cumbersome system to work with in my experience, and not something a consumer would put up with.
