A security hole in Internet Explorer can allow hackers access to view personal information from your hard drive. Users of Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 5.5 and 6.0. should immediately install the available patch.

To determine your version of Internet Explorer, open your browser, click on the 'Help' menu and choose 'About Internet Explorer'. Here you will see the version number.

Below is a link to the recommended security patch from Microsoft. Please refer to Microsoft's site for downloading and installation instructions:

And I bet they're happy that they don't have to pay the guys that find the holes :)
