Just a warning about using Real Player and IE until a patch is issued:

Using Firefox or Opera with Real Player is OK since they do not have the Active-X that makes this exploit possible. Real Player Alternative is also OK.

I just don't use IE, choose a "Real Alternative" (http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Real_Alternative.htm) and not worry about it! :)
