There is a newly discovered vulnerability that affects Internet Explorer on all versions of Windows. If exploited it might allow for an attacker to cause a victim to run malicious scripts when visiting various websites, resulting in information disclosure.

This is a vulnerability that Microsoft will have to develop a patch for, but in the meantime, there is a temporary holding action that can be taken. If you use Internet Explorer as your default web browser, click on the below link and download the Microsoft patch for it, and then open the downloaded file to execute the automatic workaround fix:

The above should provide a lockdown workaround that will render the vulnerability inoperational. Although, if you ask me, I just wouldn’t use Internet Explorer at all and use a better browser like Firefox or Chrome.
