If you use Internet Explorer, get thee hence to Microsoft, click the "Fix It" icon that you'll see above the "Fix This Problem" link.
You should know that applying the fix may limit some of the IE functionality that you know and love. It also limits the IE functionality that the Bad Guys know and love. 'nuff said. Microsoft will provide a proper fix in next month's "Patch Tuesday". Oh, and Apple Fanbois can stop your smirking. Don't think I don't see you.

Unfortunately there are business apps that are only supported for IE. That is the ONLY reason I ever use it.
That patch has actually been out at least a week; I looked at my Windows Update log and I got it on 9/12.
IE's JS implementation is still the slowest of the major browsers, but I semi-regularly still use it because, oddly enough, it's generally the most standards-compliant browser these days.
