Subiectul: Serious security flaw found in IE

Users of Microsoft's Internet Explorer are being urged by experts to switch to a rival until a serious security flaw has been fixed. The flaw in Microsoft's Internet Explorer could allow criminals to take control of people's computers and steal their passwords, internet experts say.

Microsoft urged people to be vigilant while it investigated and prepared an emergency patch to resolve it.

"Microsoft says it has detected attacks against IE 7.0 but said the "underlying vulnerability" was present in all versions of the browser."

"The message needs to get out that this malicious code can be planted on any web site, so simple careful browsing isn't enough."

(V): yawn

I'm no big fan of MS, but this is something I get hundreds of by email each day. My /dev/null folder is always hungry

rod03801: So this time the "wolf" cry really corresponds to something? My apologies to (V), and of course this doesn't change much my opinion of MS products.

rabbitoid: I don't....

I've only seen two articles on MS recently. This one and another which reported a mess up by MS over a patch that caused some people to lose the internet connection thanks to compatibility problems with a firewall program.

.... I in that case had to phone MS to find out which patch to remove.

.... Oh there has been one incident regarding MS though over policy which I took them to task relating to a laptop makers ability to keep software before a certain date that was basically essential if the laptop went unstable and needing a complete wipe and reload.

..... In the end MS said sorry and sent me a free copy of XP sp3 for my partners laptop.

Hrqls: Funny thing was that the lady at MS did not know anything about the policy... I had to send a copy of the email to her from the laptop company. That's when they/she said sorry.
