Critical Microsoft IE Patch For Download on Wednesday

Microsoft Corp. have announced that they are to release an emergency patch on Wednesday for Internet Explorer, in the hope of fixing the security bug that allowed attackers to exploit the IE browser. The critical patch could not come any sooner for the millions of IE users who have been too scared to use the browser.

The warning about the bug came last week after Microsoft had no choice but to go public about the exploit code. Hackers are able to hack in to your Windows computer and then hijack Internet Explorer. Microsoft announced that an out-of-cycle patch will be ready at 1 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday, via Windows Update, Windows Server Update Services and Microsoft Update.

The IE update will be labeled “critical,” which is the highest ranking update from Microsoft. This bug in IE has been all that people can talk about, some experts even warned that we should not use the browser until there is a fix. Microsoft as usual has been downplaying the threat.
