I think they are Bob.

No worries. 8)
The exposure to attacks that exploit the flaw is mitigated on Vista machines with Internet Explorer 7, Microsoft noted. IE 7 protected mode shields the computer against drive-by installations because the browser is restricted to where it can write files.
So, if your using Vista, make sure protected mode is turned on.
