Internet Explorer Problems
Internet Explorer Issues: As you may have already heard, there are some security issues with with Internet Explorer.
The flaw was spotted last week when hackers started attacking users of IE 7. According to reports, the best way to deal with this flaw is:
• Change your internet zone security setting to “high”. This should protect against all known exploits of this vulnerability by disabling scripting and disabling less secure features in IE. It is, however, likely to slow down your web experience.
• Log out of your computer and create a new user account which has limited rights to change the PC’s settings. Log in as that user. This should reduce the chances of anyone being able to exploit the flaw should your computer become infected.
• Keep antivirus software up to date. This is likely to have only limited benefit since most antivirus software packages only scan files that are downloaded from the internet, rather than looking at every page you visit.
