Lets be clear: it IS fixed now.  Please see http://www.microsoft.com/ie

We take this kind of bug VERY seriously.  We had a whole team of
engineers up all night working on the fix.  At the same time, we didn't
want to cause undo panic with current users.  The fact is/was that no
users of IE had experienced any maliscious effects to date, though
clearly they were vulnerable.
