Internet Explorer - Bug that was reported which may allow someone access to your machine

12-18-2008 Global:

Just a quick note to let folks know that Microsoft published a fix to that problem on Wednesday around noon.

If you do not have your system set to automatically update changes from Microsoft then you can go to their site www.microsoft.com and update your computer by going to the Downloads section and click on Update.

For those folks that never use Internet Explorer and instead use FireFox or one of the others out there, you may have more problems than just the recent IE problem.

Folks who never use IE need to remember to Update their computer once in a while as explained above and to do so you must use IE.

PS: I use 3 different browsers for various reasons, Firefox is one.

PPS: The reported problem, when the bad guys tried to access a machine, they were stopped if you used other software such as Norton's Internet Security 9.0 or Kapersky Internet Security 9.0 or other similar software. Those are the new breed of Internet protection software.
