PC Update Notification for: Microsoft Internet Explorer

Microsoft currently has unpatched security advisories affecting Internet Explorer.

The exploit can be triggered by simply visiting an infected website. As Microsoft contemplates issuing an emergency patch, there is no real solution at the moment except not visiting malicious or compromised website with Internet Explorer. Of course if you knew the website was infected you wouldn’t be visiting it in the first place would you? This exploit has the potential to become widespread.

Be keeping an eye out for a patch from Microsoft.

As usual, if you don’t have Windows Automatic Updates enabled, be sure that you check manually for updates at least once a month. Microsoft usually releases updates on the second Tuesday of every month.
