"The new generation of e-mail-borne malware consists of HTML e-mails which
<br>
contain a JavaScript which automatically downloads malware when the e-mail
<br>
is opened. This is similar to so-called driveby downloads which infect a
<br>
PC by opening an infected Website in the browser. Driveby spam eliminates
<br>
the detour via attachments or links in the e-mail and also affects
<br>
cautious users which would never open an unknown attachment or link."

Not bragging, just noting that yesterday the upgrade to FireFox 10
came in Ubuntu 11.10 Upgrade Manager. Do other distributions not
automatically push out application upgrades especially when
security is involved?

Some already have it, like openSuSE, but not all will. <br>
