Watch out for popups-security issues

From Cnet.com:

"Several popular Web browsers contain a vulnerability that could be used by cybercriminals to steal personal data, security company Secunia has warned. The flaw would allow a phishing attack in which a malicious JavaScript pop-up window appeared in front of a trusted Web site, Secunia said in an alert published Tuesday. This could trick a surfer into revealing data such as a password....According to Secunia, the latest versions of Internet Explorer, Internet Explorer for Mac, Safari, iCab, Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox and Camino are all vulnerable. Opera 7 and 8 are affected, but not 8.01, according to Opera."

Google has a great toolbar that blocks almost all popups; in addition, I use Firefox that takes care of most popups and malicious software automatically for me.
