Don't press F1
Another potential flaw with Internet Explorer - In short if you see F1 do not click on it. If you do call us and we can fix it for you.
Our advice for non clients - microsoft update..
Microsoft had released a security advisory related to the use of the F1 key while using its Internet Explorer browser.
Microsoft says that the nature of the vulnerability is tied to “the way VBScript interacts with Windows Help Files when using Internet Explorer.” Unless and until that vulnerability gets patched, the workaround to protect yourself is simply to avoid using the F1 key:
If a malicious Web site displayed a specially crafted dialog box and a user pressed the F1 key, arbitrary code could be executed in the security context of the currently logged-on user.
