Manually applied 'fixit' for IE 8 and 9 potential exploit:

But theres a more important reason why Im suggesting you install all of the outstanding Microsoft patches now. As of just a few hours ago, Lucian Constantin at PC World reported that a working exploit for an Internet Explorer vulnerability just showed up on Metasploit. Chances are very good that youre going to see that exploit used shortly.
Heres whats weird about that IE vulnerability: Microsoft hasnt released an Automatic Update for it yet, but it does have a Fixit available that you can apply, manually, to shore up your system.
