Basically this means that if you use PayPal to pay for something - and -
you are using, assuming Windows, Internet Explorer your transaction is no
longer guaranteed to be safe.

The day the bug surfaced, Firefox plugged it. Microsoft has - yet - to
fix the bug.

So bottom line, use Firefox - and - toss out Internet Explorer.
