            “Serious security flaw affects every version of Internet Explorer 
            Microsoft just released a bombshell security announcement. Researchers at security company FireEye have found a flaw in Internet Explorer that could let hackers easily slip a virus on to your computer. And hackers are already using it.

            This flaw is present in every version of Internet Explorer - from 6 to 11 - stretching back more than a decade.

            You have no defense with the latest Windows systems, either; the program is vulnerable no matter which version of Windows you are running.

            The bug is a drive-by hack; all you have to do is visit a site that hackers have hijacked or modified and you're infected.

            The really bad news: As I'm writing this, there's no permanent fix and Microsoft is still researching the problem.”
