Microsoft has urged users to be wary as three newly discovered bugs leave people open to attack while using the net.

I think its the more reason not to use IE as your default browser, although at the end of the article it says that people who uses the Beta Version of IE7 are safe... but it is a BETA right?

Re: BBC: Microsoft warns on browser bugs

You're right, it is BETA, thus limiting alot of its features and not even assuring that the features that do work are fully secure.

Apparently though, the loopholes used for these particular three bugs are patched or fixed with IE7, which is why they say you are safe.
