Hello,
For those using Internet Explorer 5.01 or 5.5. There is a very
serious security flaw discovered in IE that will allow a website to
run a program without your permission. This also affects programs
like Outlook which use IE for rendering HTML mails.
What is most dangerous and distinguishing aspect of this problem is
that users need not click to open an attachment, the program can start
all by itself.

Lokesh.
