A handful of Russian porn sites have become the first to take advantage of a "critical" security hole in Internet Explorer (IE), using it to drop malicious spyware onto visitors' computers.

The security flaw was first reported by researchers at anti-spyware company Sunbelt Software, who discovered malware exploiting the flaw on a Russian pornography site late on Friday.

Security monitoring service Secunia has since rated the flaw "extremely critical" alongside warnings from a number of other security organisations.

The software flaw allows malware to target the way IE processes Vector Markup Language (VML) code, which is used to display graphic information.
