Don't Hit F1 in Windows If a Web Site Asks You To [Malware]

Don't Hit F1 in Windows If a Web Site Asks You To [Malware]: From LifeHacker
"Microsoft has announced a scripting vulnerability affecting Windows 2000, XP, and Server 2003 users using Internet Explorer. A dialog pop-up that convinces the user to hit F1, the commonly known 'Help' button, could then run code on the machine, which would lead to, well, all kinds of unfortunate things. A patch will arrive, but in the meantime, let no web site direct you to call for help. Original image via Tom's Guide. [Microsoft TechNet via Gizmodo]
