MS warned their custimers (again) that the new Internet Explorer has a security flaw. Hackers can run programs on onther user's computer. Pretty serious.
The glitch causes Internet Explorer to automatically open specially coded attachments in e-mail without warning, possibly unleashing programs that could do anything from sending users a harmless message to deleting files from their computers, the Redmond-based software company warned late Thursday. |
Microsoft has developed a patch that can be downloaded from the company's Web site.
Internet Explorer versions 5.01 and 5.5 are affected.
I think u better get it. I used the windows update.. (I automatically got a message popup from windows update!). Else u can check the microsoft site.
