did you *read* the article?

"The vulnerability is caused by a Windows error?it can be exploited through both Firefox and Internet Explorer,"

IE7 gives you *no* protection, because it's a *Windows* flaw. Mozilla is talking about intercepting the attack *before* it reaches Windows, to protect you proactively.

The *real* solution would be to use something other than Windows, silly person.
