It's a critical update - get it today. It lets a webpage/html email write a file to your comp without asking, as well as forging other sites.

One of the trailer sites on IMDB overwrote my notepad.exe and spawed a zillion popups trying to run the file. And there was a fake Visa site that was pretty much perfect asking for card numbers.

Actually you're apparently still fucked even if you use Mozilla. Sorry, you need the MS patch regardless.
