Microsoft has today released a "Fix It" to help fill the hole that has been in its Internet Explorer browser since IE6 and affects all subsequent releases up to and including IE9.
Although somewhat ridiculous that there has been this vulnerability for so many years, and surprising it hasn't been exploited until recently, you have to be impressed how quickly Microsoft have acknowledged and in turn resolved the issue.
Although it created massive headaches implementing their recommended "workaround" and the various issues that workaround created, they have been better than their word in releasing the Fix It well within the 1 week estimated time frame.
So you know, you can see the Microsoft blog post here, and get the Fix It here.
Additionally, if you need any help or advice installing this fix, or have some questions about the recent discovery, Tweet Me @MikeParker104 or comment below!
