File this under "Alternate Defenses":

From this article:

"Our security research team has observed a new zero day exploit being used to infect systems.  Coming from a porn website, this particular one is a vulnerability in VML inside of Internet Explorer."

Their solution:

"This exploit can be mitigated by turning off Javascripting."

Um...how about you just DON'T VISIT PORN SITES?!

Geeze...
