Critical error in IE

27th December 2008

Another error was found in Internet Explorer allowing hackers to run on your machine, a kind of malicious code. Microsoft revealed the problem the other day, but first, specialists assumed that the problem occurs only in Internet Explorer 7. However, it turned out later, that the gap is present in practically all versions of the browser: from IE 5.01 SP 4 and to IE 8 Beta 2.
To resist attacks, Microsoft suggests your activating both firewall and anti-virus and also using the protected mode in IE7 and IE8. There is another way, the company preferred not to speak out: you can simply switch to another browser (Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari or Opera). At least until Microsoft fixes IE.
