Internet Explorer 0-day Attack from Panda Security on Vimeo.

News about this vulnerability was published a few weeks back, but this is a video demonstrating the exploit in action.  Another reason why you should not use IE 6 or 7.  Upgrade your browser to IE8 or switch browsers.  Taken from the website:

Yesterday, Microsoft issued a security advisory for an unpatched and actively exploited invalid reference pointer vulnerability in the Internet Explorer 6 and 7 web browsers. In the attack we observed, the exploit code will load the TDSS.CQ trojan, which is designed to steal personal and sensitive data.  Only versions 6 and 7 of Internet Explorer are vulnerable, but you can take additional steps to avoid it by using an alternative browser such as, Firefox, Opera, or by upgrading to Internet Explorer 8.
