Some experts advise users to stop using Internet Explorer due to serious security issue

December 16, 2008 by Wayne Schulz

Microsoft is advising users of Internet Explorer version 7 (and possibly earlier versions) that there are serious security issues with the browser.

Security Advisory 961051 states:

An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the local user. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less affected than users who operate with administrative user rights.

Given this serious threat there are several experts who have recommended that users switch from Internet Explorer 7 until a security patch is available from Microsoft.

Microsoft suggests the following to deal with this security vulnerability:

  • Make sure anti-virus software is up to date
  • Run Internet Explorer 7 or 8 in protected mode
  • Set Internet Explorer Zone security to high

Windows users should enable automatic system updates so they receive security patches as quickly as possible.
