Dammit! These flames aren't hot enough!
So here's some more coal.

From a Bit-Tech article:
Internet Explorer 7 was only released yesterday to the masses, and already there are complaints of security holes. "Of course," you say...what new piece of software doesn't have a few new bugs in it? Well, new bugs would be fine and dandy - but how about some that are at least two versions old?
Exploit tracking and security firm Secunia has reported that the same mhtml: redirect bug that has existed since IE5.5 is still alive and well in IE7, and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere quickly. The scam uses an html email to direct the target to a secure site (like a bank) in order to obtain password information.

Personally, that won't stop me from using IE7. Security is something I couldn't care less about in a browser. I don't do online banking, don't care who knows whatever they want to about my personal data or computer usage. And I doubt there is anyone who cares enough to go to that much effort for my info. The chances of anything happening to me (given that I do have a reasonable level of non-netstupidity) are small enough that I don't care.
But I use Firefox because of the tabs, which IE didn't have until version 7, and the themes and extensions.
