Security Flaw, Found in IE

A new security flaw has been found in Microsoft's Internet Explorer, and Microsoft haven't been able to fix it yet.

The flaw would allow other people to hack your computer and steal passwords. An estimate of 10,000 websites have already been compromised.

Microsoft Security Advice:

• Change IE security settings to high
• Switch to a Windows user account with limited rights to change a PC's settings
• With IE7 or 8 on Vista turn on Protected Mode
• Ensure your PC is updated
• Keep anti-virus and anti-spyware software up to date

Another option would be to switch to another browser until the flaw has been fixed:

• Firefox
• Opera
• Chrome
• Safari
