Critical IE 7 exploit making the rounds

Microsoft issued a critical security warning Tuesday that a malicious exploit is making the rounds and attacking vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer 7.  [...]

You almost have to wonder why they even bother making the announcement.  Has there ever been a period longer than about a week when there was NOT some unpatched system-pwning Internet Explorer exploit in the wild?

To fix up the eboli metaphor somewhat, you'd imagine that eboli infected all the mosquitos in North America. Then it doesn't matter how infectious it is to humans.
