If you use an older version of IE explorer, you need to update it now. There is another exploit on IE older version , IE 6 and IE 7.
A new exploit targeting Internet Explorer was published to the BugTraq mailing list yesterday. Symantec has conducted further tests and confirmed that it affects Internet Explorer versions 6 and 7 as well. The exploit currently exhibits signs of poor reliability, but we expect that a fully-functional reliable exploit will be available in the near future. When this happens, attackers will have the ability to insert the exploit into Web sites, infecting potential visitors. For an attacker to launch a successful attack, they must lure victims to their malicious Web page or a Web site they have compromised. In both cases, the attack requires JavaScript to exploit Internet Explorer.
The exploit targets a vulnerability in the way Internet Explorer uses cascading style sheet (CSS) information. CSS is used in many Web pages to define the presentation of the sites’ content. Symantec currently detects the exploit with the Bloodhound.Exploit.129 antivirus signature and is working on new signatures now. Symantec IPS protection also currently detects this exploit with signatures HTTP Microsoft IE Generic Heap Spray BO and HTTP Malicious Javascript Heap Spray BO. A new IPS signature, HTTP IE Style Heap Spray BO, has also been created for this specific exploit. To minimize the chances of being affected by this issue, Internet Explorer users should ensure their antivirus definitions are up to date, disable JavaScript and only visit Web sites they trust until fixes are available from Microsoft.

Or change your web browser to FireFox, Opera, Chrome or many others that are safer than IE Explorer.

Internet Explorer users can also upgrade to Internet Explorer version 8. Even so, they will still be vulnerable to some exploits. Firefox or Opera are probably the safest browsers to use.

Yes IE will always have more exploits.
Firefox some have some exploits at times, but they are usually fixed quickly.
And some sites do not work correctly in Opera.
I have not really used Chrome that much, but it is suppose to be faster.
I have not really tried Safari either, but might check it out also.
