There are a handful of critical security issues that have emerged in the past week. Most of these allow malicious users to gain access via holes in 'Active Scripting' and 'ActiveX'.

If you must use Internet Explorer, I would recommend disabling both Active Scripting and ActiveX. So many exploits involve these two components, I think it's better to keep them disabled permanently.
