Microsoft to fix IE loophole

A vulnerability in the Internet Explorer web browser was recently exposed, but Microsoft are currently working on a fix for the security exploit.

Microsoft has issued a Support Page and “Fix it” solution for the problem, but plan to release an update on Friday, which Microsoft urges users to download.

The vulnerability puts millions of machines at risk by allowing malware to bypass existing security protocols via a specially crafted Flash animation.
