redhawk Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Microsoft has issued a warning about a serious vulnerability in all versions of its Internet Explorer (IE) browser.If exploited by a booby-trapped webpage the bug would allow attackers to take control of an unprotected computer. More info here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-12067295 Just as well I only use Firefox. Richard S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aethec Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Is it one of the bugs that can't bypass Protected Mode? There have been a lot of IE security holes lately...well, Firefox and Safari still have more flaws than IE. Piriform French translator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barky Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 thing with firefox & many others is the fixes all come quickly & are all declared, IE you have to wait weeks sometimes until next scheduled monthly updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a myth. Some FF flaws were not patched months after their discovery, since Mozilla doesn't really care about vulnerabilities unless they are actively exploited.
