Microsoft has issued a "critical" warning over a newly-discovered flaw in Windows.



In a security advisory, the company warned of a loophole that could be used by malicious hackers to steal private information or hijack computers.



The bug potentially affects every user of the Internet Explorer web browser - around 900 million people worldwide.

Dunno why you would use Internet Explorer anyway when Firefox and Chrome are so much faster

Got to agree with Static-X Google Chrome is much faster than Explore, Chrome will automatically translate pages into English and will automatically spell check when typing plus loads more, in my view well worth the time to take a look.

Hi Static-X,

"Dunno why you would use Internet Explorer anyway when Firefox and Chrome are so much faster"

Got to agree with you there, I'm on Firefox.

Was posted to warn others who are on IE.
