Apparently there is some kind of unpatched vulnerability for Internet Explorer version 7-9 (6-9?).
The general advice is not to use Internet Explorer at all until it's fixed. There is a tool from Microsoft, "EMET", that could work to somewhat stop attacks.
(Just stumbled over this, I have no details on what it's about.)
Update: Hackers exploit new IE zero-day vulnerability (Computerworld)
Sooner or later these kinds of attacks might come to entropia users (a couple of years ago it was an ad service here that spread an attack, and a couple of months ago it was the blog site for Next Island) - so it might be good with a heads-up.
