Internet Explorer Flaw 'Extremely Critical'

Security experts from UK company Computer Terrorism have released a proof-of-concept exploit for a security flaw in Microsoft's Internet Explorer that could allow an attacker to take control of a system.

It is still unclear if Microsoft has successfully patched this hole. The work around is to turn JavaScript off. Unfortunately this will cause a lot of problems surfing the net. Millions upon millions of sites use JavaScript for something mainly feedback forms. The best solution for this problem is of course make the switch to firefox. There is now a extension for firefox that allows you to use Internet Explorer within firefox. Now how cool is that.

Get Firefox!
