Don't use F1 key while using IE

Those who are faithful to Internet Explorer might as well get rid of the F1 key while browsing the net. I know the F1 functionality is important to some but if you are still using Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 you better not use the F1 key at all while browsing the world wide web using IE.


A recent report on a vulnerability in VBScript could allow malicious code to penetrate your PC with a single stroke at F1 key using IE. Microsoft is currently investigating this report and "We are actively working with partners in our Microsoft Active Protections Program (MAPP) to provide information that they can use to provide broader protections to customers."
