Websurfers with IE and Firefox at risk.
If you're using Firefox, you're fine. If you have Firefox on your machine but are using IE, then be careful where you click.
It all seems pretty complex, but basically if you visit a malicious website using IE and click a link, then the website owner could get Firefox to run an evil code. The mostly likely result is your machine would be turned into a zombie machine (part of a botnet).
The computer security firm Secunia, who announced the flaw, said the best way to avoid the above is to avoid malicious websites. Then Mozilla reported that the fix for this vulnerability is included in the Firefox 2.0.0.5 build. So keep your browsers updated.
