re: Major Internet Explorer Flaw?

This seems to be a huge hole and is uncovered by a researcher from SANS Internet Storm Center.

Anyway Microsoft responded immediately with some updates:

Microsoft released a patch last Wednesday : Security Update for Internet Explorer (v5.01 to v8 beta 2) - KB960714

If you have Automatic updates enabled, then this get downloaded and installed automatically.
Note - It requires a system reboot.

Re: Major Internet Explorer Flaw!!

Hahahahahaha!!!

It's things like this that make me glad that I switched to Firefox a couple of years ago.

The way things seem lately just propels me towards the assumption that M.S. couldn't give a tinkers cuss about the state of their own browser - let alone the well-being of their installer base.

It's pretty sad.

can't say firefox is anymore secure than IE unless you keep it up to date. No software is perfect or bug free.

Btw. Even though you are using Firefox it's recommended to apply this update.
