Internet Explorer

Anybody using Internet Explorer would be well advised to install this critcial patch from Microsoft:

Microsoft Security Bulletin Advance Notification for December 2008

if you don't want your passwords harvested.

More from BBC:

BBC NEWS | Technology | Serious security flaw found in IE

Of course a much better solution is to use Firefox.

Thanks. Something was updated automatically over the weekend. Do you think it's already done? How can I check?

Assume it's: MS08-073 - addresses a vulnerability in Internet Explorer (KB 958215)

That page isn't very helpful.

All it needs to have is:

This is the problem: blah.
Click here to update.

No, I believe it's not done yet. The MS page is an advance notice of a patch that is available supposedly on the 17th.

Not much use if your account has been emptied as a result of using IE

Why now shift to FireFox?
This is my suggestion.
