Critical Vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) Browser:
Microsoft has announced a critical vulnerability in Internet Explorer that can allow a users PC to be compromised if they simply access a Web Site that has the exploit.
There is no fix at present, however Microsoft is expected to issue a patch to fix the problem on Wednesday.
In the interim, it is recommended that if you access a website other than ***** that you use alternative Web browsers which do not have this vulnerability.
Some popular Web browsers are:
* www.firefox.com
* http://www.apple.com/safari/
* www.google.com/chrome

Once the Microsoft patch has been released you can install and then browse the internet with Internet Explorer as per normal.

This time last year they always advised us to use IE. Over the past months they have been talking up Firefox, which is what I use for work and play anyway. Looks like business may be getting frustrated with IE like us regular folks are doing.

The safest possible browser is the one integrated with AOL...it doesn't work, so any virus or malware designed for it probably wouldn't work either :)
