Microsoft have released an update to IE7 where hackers could gain access to your computer, to steal your passwords and personal details. IT Managers are increasing their security rapidly.
Microsoft says it has detected attacks against IE 7.0 but said the “underlying vulnerability” was present in all versions of the browser. Would this be a good time to switch to the ever increasing Mozilla Firefox, or Google Chrome? And does this especially mean the end to supporting IE6?
“Based on our investigation, setting the internet zone security setting to High will protect users from known attacks,” advised Microsoft.
However, for the most effective protection, customers should evaluate a combination of using the High security setting in conjunction with one of the following workarounds:
- Disable XML Island functionality
- Restrict Internet Explorer from using OLEDB32.dll with an Integrity Level ACL
- Disable Row Position functionality of OLEDB32.dll
- Unregister OLEDB32.dll
- Use ACL to disable OLEDB32.dll
