New 'Critical' security fix for I.E. 6

Microsoft rushes out 'critical' fix
CNET News.com wrote:The company is breaking with its monthly patch cycle to fix a flaw that cybercrooks have been using to attack Windows PCs via Internet Explorer. Malicious software can be loaded, unbeknownst to the user, onto a vulnerable Windows PC when the user clicks on a malicious link on a Web site or in an e-mail message.

"Exploitation has already eclipsed that of the last out-of-cycle patch," said Ken Dunham, director of the rapid response team at VeriSign's iDefense. "It appears that there were several million domains that were redirecting to malicious VML sites."
