|
||
| Time: 02:49 EST/07:49 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

Microsoft is investigating a new public report of a vulnerability affecting Internet Explorer. We have not been made aware of any attacks attempting to use the reported vulnerability or customer impact at this time, but we are aggressively investigating the public report. Microsoft has completed the initial investigation and recommends disabling Javaprxy.dll in Internet Explorer. For more information, including links to an available download, please see “Disable the Javaprxy.dll COM object from running in Internet Explorer” in the Workarounds section. At the completion of the overall investigation, Microsoft will take the appropriate action to help protect our customers, which may include providing additional mitigation or workaround guidance through this Security Advisory, and a security update through our monthly release process or an out-of-cycle security update, depending on the results of the investigation and customer needs. | ||

"I'll stick with Firefox, thanks."
Some people are just gluttons for punishment. <shakes head in disbelief> |

This will solve the problem . . .
Microsoft's AntiSpyware Tool Removes Internet Explorer By Brian Briggs Many Microsoft Windows users who downloaded the recently released AntiSpyware program from Microsoft, or had it installed through an automatic Windows update, woke up to a surprise. Unintentionally, the heuristics of the software detected Internet Explorer as spyware, and removed the program from their systems. Microsoft has pulled the program from its website until the problem can be corrected. Elias Weatherbee, a Microsoft representative, said the program was "only in beta" and that "a fix was forthcoming." "It shows how powerful our AntiSpyware program is," said Weatherbee. "Not only is it able to remove spyware from the system, but also the source of most spyware. Our competitors can't match that." A representative from Lavasoft, which sells Ad-Aware another spyware removal program, complained that Microsoft was using its monopoly and knowledge of the operating system to "offer features that others can't match." "Tough shit," said Weatherbee. Many computer users did not view this new "feature" positively. "I tried to check the weather this morning and all my little blue 'e' icons were missing. I couldn't get to the Internet at all. I guess I'll have to get a new computer," said Windows XP user Graham Newton. Users of alternative browsers were happy to see Internet Explorer gone. Thad Freeman of the Mozilla Users Group said, "I've been trying for years to get rid of Internet Explorer. I never imagined that Microsoft would do it for me. I'm ecstatic." Microsoft technical support was advising customers to reinstall Windows to regain Internet access and to disable automatic updates. Symantec Antivirus Research reported that virus sightings were down by 95% this morning. |

| I will stick with the most popular, most widely used, and most secure browser on the market, IE. |
