IE Alert

Users of the world's most common web browser have been advised to switch to another browser until a serious security flaw has been fixed.

Microsoft is investigating the problem and preparing an emergency software patch to resolve it, it says.

"Microsoft is continuing its investigation of public reports of attacks against a new vulnerability in Internet Explorer," said the firm in a security advisory alert about the flaw.

Microsoft says it has detected attacks against version seven of the browser - its most widely used edition.

But the company warned that other versions were also potentially vulnerable.

729684 2008-12-16 20:22:00 Which is why relying on MS for your security is such a waste of time. Suckers that think having all the latest patches has them safe............it will never be safe. pctek (84)
729685 2008-12-16 23:34:00 Why don't MS pay some clever little hackers $10,000 fro every hole they find ?

It would be good value for them and easy regular money for the hackers !
