I would hope that all anti viruses would stop this old type of infection. I would still like to have both security methods used. A security update for I.E. and a proper anti virus definition for this problem. Some of the viruses seam to find a way to tip toe around one layer of protection. Paranoia is another layer of protection.

for anti-virus software to work perfectly the users has to help by taking the extra precautions. i reads some threat blogs of antivirus companies saying how hackers are exploiting their attacks on win xp adobe flash player java and any other browser other than internet explorer 9.
most people when installing internet explorer use the custom install option so they dont get the full protection as they would if they used the recommended install. i use to install the custom way, got viruses and tracking cookies when i had vista on here, installed win7 two years ago and installed using recommended and havent had a virus or tracking cookie since.

It's one thing to share one's personal experience, but it's illogical to extend that experience into a general rule of thumb for all users to follow. Other variables may have been in play.

Microsoft promises fix for IE security flaw in next few days

Read more at source:Microsoft said today it will issue a fix soon for a security flaw that affects users of Internet Explorer versions 6 through 9.
Uncovered this past weekend, the security hole could compromise the PCs of IE users who surf to a malicious Web site. The flaw is being actively exploited to deliver a back-door trojan known as "Poison Ivy."
The software giant said in a security advisory this afternoon that a solution to the flaw would be released in the next few days.
