And where is this workstation ? your study desk in your bedroom.

Interesting only in win7 64bit not win7 32bit and not confirming if this has been found in any other browser, so the assumption is that other browsers aren't effected ???

MS confirmed that IE prior to version 9 is also affected.

I suspected this was going to extend to other browsers, though is that still related to IE browsers win7 x64 though.

Yes, x64 only atm, but they also admit that it could be misused without any browser as well.
They changed the info (Chief Security Advisor Blog) quite frequently lately. ;)

It maybe a laptop in the dunny ( most comfortable seat in the house ) but if you knew how to read signitures you would see that it isn't 10 years old  ;D

Hardly, that's one of the best laptops currently available.

Laugh, I nearly wet myself. HM Revenue & Customs refund for £1400.

Got a probable phishing/malware social engineering email, detected as spam by the simplest of filters in my MailWasher Pro anti-spam. Great that the UK HM Revenue & Customs would be sending their email from the Netherlands ;D

My filter is Not to me, couldn't be more basic if the email isn't directed sent to one of my email addresses, it gets flagged (image1).

I really can't understand how people can get conned by these types of thing as they are so easy to spot. When do you get informed of a tax refund when it is to To: undisclosed-recipients:;. Email headers are an absolute joke (image2). And finally the obligatory claim refund directing you to the crooks, image3).

I'm going to let it through to see what avast makes of it ;D

EDIT, no alert by avast as it appears there is only the link (social engineering) to the Russian domain, where you are likely to get a nasty surprise (which hopefully the dumb would be protected by the network or web shields).
