New Vulnerability in IE6

If you haven't upgraded to IE6 or switched to Firefox here is another reason to get with the program. A new hole has been found in IE6 making it vulnerable to hackers. New software has been published on the Internet that could be used to exploit a known flaw in Internet Explorer.
The code exploits a recently patched flaw in Internet Explorer. The code could be used to run unauthorized software on a computer that was not updated with the latest Microsoft patches. A patch for this has been released, but now that hackers know where the weakness is there will be more attention to it.

IE7 has been out for a while now and is a decent browser go ahead and update to it or try Firefox which is even better and very secure. You can download the Firefox browser from our web site, www.davtechsolutions.com
