FYI, a security patch is now available for download on the Windows Update section of the Microsoft website, in the Critical Updates section.
@exaggerato-Thanks. I do not use IE, but I wanted to spread the word to those that do.
I switched to Firefox about a year ago and wish I had done it much sooner. I can't imagine why anyone stays with IE. IE is evil.
I heard about this on the news, but don't use IE ... haven't for a long time because I so much prefer Mozilla. I looked at Chrome when it was released but decided it wasn't worth the effort to switch ... at least not now. Thanks for the public service announcement.
Hugs and blessings,
@jan-I agree. I hope no one loses their identity or credit rating because of it.
There's a work around fix created by PREVX. That should do the trick for the meantime.
I use FLOCK and love it. I heard about this on the news... Said you can go to Windows website and download the patch.
