Internet Explorer Security Flaw

So by now im pretty sure everyone is aware of the security issue on Internet Explorer. So from what I know and have read..if you're using Internet Explorer....STOP!! Here is something I came accross this afternoon: "The major press outlets are abuzz this morning with news of a major new security flaw that affects all versions of Internet Explorer from IE5 to the latest beta of IE8. The attack has serious and far-reaching ramifications -- and they're not just theoretical attacks. In fact, the flaw is already in wide use as a tool to steal online game passwords, with some 10,000 websites infected with the code needed to take advantage of the hole in IE."Virtually all security experts are counseling users to switch to any other web browser -- none of the others are affected, including Firefox, Chrome, and Opera -- at least for the time being."...

So with that being said, anybody want to share your opinions or advise others on what to do to prevent from being hacked...i personally closed Internet Explorer imidiately after reading this..im using firefox for now...
