New Internet Explorer Flaw Being Exploited
Dear Bob,
A newly discovered, unpatched Internet Explorer flaw is being exploited by virus authors. The infection is currently being spread by simply viewing infected websites. A new twist is that hackers are breaking into and infecting legitimate websites. As such, the usual advice of avoiding "less than reputable" sites does not prevent infection.
Microsoft has NOT released a patch as of yet, so Internet Explorer users are advised to read on...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to prevent infection...
One way to prevent infection while awaiting a Microsoft patch (due April 11th) is to download and use an alternate browser, like Firefox, for your daily web surfing.
We have recommended Firefox for a year and a half as a safer browser to use on the Internet.
There are times where Internet Explorer is required to view some Internet content. As such, it is wise to keep both handy.
Get Firefox now...
Microsoft has offered a "workaround" until a patch is released. Please click HERE for detailed instructions on setting up the workaround.
