abscondment writes "An error in the way Internet Explorer parses CSS files has been discovered by Matan Gillon of Israel. The flaw can be exploited by any website, and used to access personal information via Google's Desktop Search program. Of course, Google contends that this is a flaw with IE, and not their search software."

    I provided that link for your convenience, it's a lot faster to click than to type into the location field. Some might not know about it, and in the case of one of them reading my post they might want to check what it is about. Sorry for not adapting my post to your personal experiences.
