IE8 is still far from ready for general release, it still has some serious issues which have not been resolved.<

Or you can just use Vista UAC with IE7 in protected mode. In other words default setup of Vista.
Anyway, I've never seen so much detailed information on Microsoft site about a security that big before. May be it may help people get rid of IE6 soon enough.<

My own sites running on Apache hosting were infected a while ago, through a root-access hack at my provider. I was not alarmed until a friend of mine tipped me to check for additional FTP accounts. They left the entire site intact, but injected hidden iframes and javascript stuff in tons of pages. So, even sites you trust may be hazardous to visit using an insecure browser.
I currently refuse to use IE, and use Firefox 3 instead. Too bad I cannot use that approach here at work, as they've implemented several IE only webapplications....
