MS warns of serious computer security hole
 

Microsoft Corp. has taken the rare step of warning about a serious computer security vulnerability it hasn't fixed yet.

The vulnerability disclosed Monday affects Internet Explorer users whose computers run the Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 operating software.

It can allow hackers to remotely take control of victims' machines. The victims don't need to do anything to get infected except visit a Web site that's been hacked.

Not a problem if the browser is configured correctly

firefox and vista/mac here... :thumbsup

firefux ftw...

Yeah....
 

Its called Windows.... :thumbsup

IE sucks big time, I thought everyone already knows it :)

shocking

It's easy to say "I'm safe" but think about the hundreds of millions of less computer savvy people that switch on their computer every day. Many of them are your potential customers.

better upgrade to Vista ASAP !

The security hole is called "Windows".

again? wow... hooray for OSX

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Again, IE.... its the main reason IE is losing market share.

The "Macs are safe because no one writes viruses for them" thing isn't going to last much longer. :winkwink: :2 cents:

so MS is starting to run campaigns to make people feel afraid of using XP and have them move to either vista or the upcoming 7? .... MS is so full of shit.. and holes....
