Recently a flaw is believed to have already infected as many as 10,000 websites.Meanwhile,some hackers start to use this vulnerability to take over other people’s computers so that dozens of personal files may be exposed.
Microsoft has told to the public that the flaw affected from IE5 to the latest IE8 beta2 and thus most of Windows users are involved.However,this patch has been released and should have been installed by using Automatic Update.
Those people who never open that function could get the critical patch through Microsoft Update Web site or manually download it here(KB 960714).Otherwise,using other web browsers such as Firefox,Opera or Google Chrome are strongly recommended alternatives.
Microsoft mobilized the security team worldwide to work out a software cure in the unprecedented time of 8 days.It sounds good as they do the things very efficiently.But in fact,the leak could be found in IE5.That means it’s existed for more than 9 years.How come no one figure it out during the 9 years?I feel it is so ridiculous.
