Microsoft has released a patch on Wednesday to fix an exploit that could allow remote access to your PC. If you use Internet Explorer 7 you MUST apply the patch when it is available. You can read about the exploit here and here and you can read about the actual flaw on Microsoft’s website here. Why are you still using IE anyway, Firefox can do whatever IE can and more.
